Abstract: In the face of unpredictable turbulences and growing interlocking crises, organizations aim to develop their resilience, as dynamic ability to preserve functioning despite adversity. In this context of permacrisis, existing plans and procedures may be no longer be adequate, requiring novel adaptive solutions. Therefore, resilience relies on improvisation to resolve stability/adaptability challenge. Despite considerable advances in studies of organizational improvisation, the literature leaves a void in comprehending why and how (through what mechanisms) improvisational process occurs in order to draw lessons for resilience development. Though an explanatory qualitative study exploring artists' experiences of improvising, we aim to gain greater understanding of improvisation process to develop resilience in permacrisis context. Our study contribute to resilience and improvisation literatures streams by revealing underlying principles and mechanisms of improvisational process and its interactions.
