We will also look at some real-life examples of organizations that have successfully used their essence as a vital strategy for crisis resolution. These include Netflix, BBC, and Sony. Stay tuned for more insights and tips on how to use Essence as a Vital Strategy for Crisis Resolutions.
Topic
Vital Essence is one of the 8 Good Ways for crisis resolution. It refers to the ability to adapt and evolve in response to changing circumstances and challenges. Vital Essence helps businesses to survive and thrive in times of crisis by being flexible and resilient.
One way to practice Vital Essence is to be flexible about the origin, crisis, resolutions, resources, and journey of a crisis situation. This means that businesses should not be rigid or fixed in their assumptions or expectations about how a crisis started, what it entails, how it can be resolved, what resources are available, and what outcomes are possible. Instead, businesses should be open to learning from the situation, exploring different options, seeking new opportunities, and embracing uncertainty.
By being flexible in these five aspects, businesses can enhance their Vital Essence and improve their crisis resolution skills. Flexibility allows businesses to cope with stress, uncertainty, and complexity more effectively. It also enables businesses to seize opportunities, create value, and innovate in times of crisis. Flexibility is a key component of Vital Essence and a vital skill for crisis resolution.
Market Studies
Case 1 - Netflix
During the early 2010s, Netflix was primarily known as a DVD-by-mail rental company. However, their business model was being threatened by the rise of online streaming services, such as Hulu and Amazon Prime.
To adapt to this changing landscape, Netflix decided to pivot their business model towards online streaming. This was a risky move, as it required a significant investment in technology and licensing agreements. Additionally, it was unclear if consumers would be willing to pay for a standalone streaming service.
To mitigate the risks associated with this pivot, Netflix relied on their essence as a company. They believed in providing high-quality content and a seamless user experience. This essence guided their decision-making process and helped them stay true to their core values during this transition.
Netflix also demonstrated flexibility in their approach to crisis resolution. They were willing to take risks and try new things, even if it meant deviating from their traditional business model. They were open to experimentation and quickly adapted to feedback from their users.
As a result of these strategic decisions, Netflix was able to successfully transition from a DVD-by-mail rental company to a leading online streaming service. They have become a market leader in the industry and have continued to innovate and provide high-quality content to their subscribers.
Overall, Netflix’s case demonstrates the importance of aligning your actions and decisions with your essence during times of crisis. By staying true to your core values and being flexible in your approach, you can navigate crises more effectively and emerge stronger on the other side.
Case 2 - BBC
In 2012, BBC was faced with a crisis when it was revealed that one of their most popular television personalities, Jimmy Savile, was a prolific sexual abuser. The scandal rocked the organization and threatened to undermine its reputation and credibility.
To address this crisis, BBC relied on their essence as a public service broadcaster. They believed in providing unbiased and accurate news and entertainment to the public. This essence guided their response to the crisis and helped them regain the trust of their audience.
BBC demonstrated flexibility in their approach to crisis resolution by taking swift and decisive action to address the issue. They launched an independent inquiry into the scandal and implemented new policies and procedures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
As a result of their strategic decisions, BBC was able to weather the crisis and emerge stronger on the other side. They maintained their position as one of the most respected and trusted broadcasters in the world.
Overall, BBC’s case demonstrates the importance of staying true to your core values and being flexible in your approach to crisis resolution. By aligning your actions and decisions with your essence, you can navigate crises more effectively and emerge stronger on the other side.
Case 3 - Sony
In 2011, Sony was hit by a massive cyber attack that compromised the personal and financial information of millions of customers. The attack was one of the largest in history and posed a significant threat to Sony’s reputation and credibility.
To address this crisis, Sony relied on their essence as a company. They believed in providing high-quality products and services to their customers. This essence guided their response to the crisis and helped them regain the trust of their customers.
Sony demonstrated flexibility in their approach to crisis resolution by taking swift and decisive action to address the issue. They worked closely with law enforcement agencies to investigate the attack and implemented new policies and procedures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
As a result of their strategic decisions, Sony was able to recover from the crisis and emerge stronger on the other side. They maintained their position as a leader in the electronics industry and continued to provide high-quality products and services to their customers.
Overall, Sony’s case demonstrates the importance of staying true to your core values and being flexible in your approach to crisis resolution. By aligning your actions and decisions with your essence, you can navigate crises more effectively and emerge stronger on the other side.
