No matter who you are or what role you play in the world it\u2019s different now than it was two weeks ago.\u00a0 By different I mean changed.\u00a0 Change is difficult.\u00a0 The change we face now is a crisis; a pandemic.\u00a0 It\u2019s disruptive, destructive, unpredictable, and scary.\u00a0 What can we do?\u00a0 Change with it as best we can.\u00a0 We must respond and adapt to the rapidly evolving elements of the world around us.\u00a0 For the past couple of weeks \u2013 and who knows how much longer \u2013 we\u2019ve all been making change rapidly.\u00a0 We respond to CDC guidelines, state and local government mandates, limitations and closures of our workplaces, school postponements, grocery stocking\u2026 Our households, organizations, industries, communities, and nation are being tested.\u00a0 These tests will be passed by focusing our efforts, by coming together and remaking ourselves in the face of change.<\/p>

Amidst all this upheaval, the workplace is not immune to the shifts we are experiencing. Many industries have had to pivot quickly to remote work, adjust production, or even temporarily cease operations altogether. This crisis is forcing businesses to reevaluate how they operate and manage their workforce, leading to an urgent need for flexibility, creativity, and resilience. Companies that once thrived on in-person collaboration now find themselves navigating virtual environments, while essential workers are adapting to heightened safety protocols. To keep pace with these demands, modernizing EHS beyond compliance<\/a> is no longer an option but a necessity. It\u2019s about integrating health, safety, and environmental considerations into the very fabric of operations, ensuring that employees feel supported and secure in these uncertain times.<\/p>

A benefit of facing adversity, especially in quarantine, is time and purpose for reflection.\u00a0 While thinking about what my organization does and how its utility fits into the world, I came upon the idea of remanufacturing as a mindset for change.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 To me remanufacturing means taking something broken or unable to perform a task and making it work again often better than before and adapted to changing conditions and new information.\u00a0<\/p>

We are watching the world remanufacture itself.\u00a0 Look at the changes in your life and the changes in the lives of those around you.\u00a0 Our healthcare systems, delivery and distribution networks, transportation, sports and entertainment industries\u2014whether headed for a bailout or unable to respond to the excess\u2014are remanufacturing themselves in a hurry.\u00a0<\/p>

Examples of helpful and rapid change abound: an events company producing masks, Ford contributing parts and design for a ventilator, grocery stores providing senior shopping hours.<\/p>

I don\u2019t know the way out of this mess, and I don\u2019t have many answers, but it\u2019s a safe bet that rapid assessment and adaptation will be effective strategies in our changing world.\u00a0<\/p>

I\u2019ve watched our systems development teams utilize a system for work which I believe focuses on change called agile (discussed more in this REMAN U article<\/a>). The basic premise and wisdom as I understand it is to respond to challenges and opportunities quickly and get immediate feedback.\u00a0 Work or change is prioritized and focused on short time periods.\u00a0 I\u2019m working as many of you are lately on almost daily adjustments.\u00a0 The idea is to assess, adjust and respond efficiently and keep making forward progress.\u00a0<\/p>

The big changes you were considering a few months ago with hesitation\u2026 well, you\u2019ve made bigger ones last week on little to no notice.\u00a0 Don\u2019t become overwhelmed, assess the situation, prioritize and attack the most important issues and implement solutions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

As we quickly adapt our businesses and our lives to a new, and likely temporary normal, we might first have to remanufacture our attitudes to the idea that we can change every norm about our lives to get through a difficult time and to do-so stronger than the start.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
