Abstract: Events such as COVID-19 and the related unforeseen issues highlight the importance of adaptability for crisis management. Since this kind of situation is hard to predict, planning alone does not allow for speedy, effective emergence from the crisis. Many studies have sought to characterise adaptability and develop tools to analyse it before and after an event. However, in the case of a long-lasting event such as COVID-19, organisations must be able to analyse adaptability during the disruption in order to make the necessary adjustments. Work done by the CRP with its various industrial partners has made it possible to suggest organisational factors on which organisations can rely to support the unity of effort needed for adaptability. To promote the implementation and analysis of these factors during disruptions, the authors propose the concept of sense of coherence to execute speedy diagnostics and identify the crisis management factors that must be adjusted.
