Abstract: In an ever-changing world of threats and vulnerabilities, crisis management actors must continuously learn to adapt and transform their response capabilities. The most important challenge lies in the duality of the crisis management system, which is a system for planning between crises as well as a system for responding during crises. In this context, it is necessary to identify a model that allows understanding how systems subject to crisis conditions learn to adapt and transform. Such a model is used to improve understanding of the dynamics of learning and changing crisis management systems. Despite the fact that the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly developed countermeasures, mainly of a medical nature, it has failed to ensure the resilience of health systems and economies, with the total human and economic cost still being felt. Based on this reality, our objective is to identify, through concrete examples, how we should learn from these shortcomings, i.e., how to implement more inclusive and equitable frameworks to prevent and respond to crises (health crises in this case). Taking measures to rebuild public and investor confidence in resilient local productive capacity, supply chains, regulatory frameworks, etc. and putting the voices of crisis managers at the heart of decision-making can help ensure preparedness for future threats. So, it's time to move beyond just talking about learning under pressure and implementing lessons and instead act consciously for a more resilient future.
