On a mission: Higher education combats COVID-19 challenges
COVID-19’s impact on higher education has been both severe and expansive. In addition to the operational stress and disruption facing academic institutions, their students, and direct constituents, there are continuously evolving downstream consequences on the communities, businesses, and stakeholders in their shared sphere of influence. How can higher education leaders successfully fulfill their institution’s mission while managing the student, faculty, and community demands placed on them by the crisis? This episode explores the pandemic-related challenges shared by academia and business with Jay Hartzell, president, University of Texas, Austin and Betty Fleurimond, Higher Education practice managing director for Deloitte Services LP. They discuss intricate re-opening plans, outbreak response management programs, and the opportunities that widespread virtual environments are presenting higher education institutions.

Resilience in the wake of adversity
The impact of COVID-19 on people and how they are coping with crisis
The pandemic has forced so many people to demonstrate tremendous resilience. Frontline leaders and those personally impacted by the coronavirus have had to soldier on through mental and physical adversity. How can adopting well-being practices help individuals and leaders come back from crisis and build the fortitude required to navigate the ongoing challenges we all face? In this episode of Resilient, host Mike Kearney teams up with Jen Fisher, Deloitte’s US chief well-being officer and host of the WorkWell podcast, to explore the connection between well-being and resilience with emergency medical services (EMS) leader, Mike McCabe, Chief of Operations at McCabe Ambulance Service and the host of EMS World Podcasts. Mike McCabe has lived and worked through several crises—from 9/11 to COVID-19 response and dozens of public safety and medical incidents in between. He discusses his experiences dealing with physical and emotional traumas and the creative approaches he’s developed for tackling both everyday and extraordinary challenges. He also shares insights on effective well-being practices for leaders and teams, as well as strategies for coping with uncertainty.

Critical infrastructure at risk: Creating a secure and resilient world
Securing and building resilience into the US critical infrastructure is essential to protecting our nation’s security and economy—as well as the health and welfare of our people. COVID-19 has introduced a number of new challenges to our resilience that have both physical and cyber implications—but also opportunities to rethink risk. How can business leaders not only manage the downside of risk at this time, but also leverage a strategic risk evaluation approach to enhance resilience against future crises? This episode features Robert (Bob) Kolasky, the Assistant Director of the National Risk Management Center (NRMC) in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Bob discusses the interdependencies that exist across public and private industries and the NRMC’s role advising businesses, industry, and the government in the protection of critical infrastructure. He shares insights on some of the biggest risk factors that business owners, operators, and other leaders should consider when making decisions that have downstream infrastructure consequences. And, he also explores some of the greatest gaps in managing cyber risks in critical functions and infrastructure—as well as where innovation is at play—as organizations respond to and recover from the COVID-19 crisis.

Health care: Responding and recovering with resilience
Health care is on the front line of the COVID-19 crisis—and the people who care for those impacted by the pandemic are heroes in our ability to recover as a society and as a country. As health care leaders guide their organizations through this incredibly challenging time, how are they adapting to meet their communities’ and health practitioners’ needs while promoting resilience across their teams? In this episode of Resilient, we welcome two resilient leaders of health care institutions—Kevin Sowers, president of Johns Hopkins Health System, and Michael Dowling, president and CEO at Northwell Health—along with Deloitte’s own chief medical officer, Ken Abrams. They discuss their experiences leading through this unprecedented situation; how they have rewired and reinvented traditional practices to a meet a broad range of patient and caregiver needs. They also share inspiring stories of courage, empathy, and innovation in the face of despair, and reflect on the role that individual and organizational resilience plays in responding to and recovering from crisis. As these leaders collectively assess the impact of COVID-19 on the health care industry, they consider how the lessons of the past few months might be applied to drive radical change in health care’s future.
