Operations in the Next Normal
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The "next normal" signifies a permanent shift in operations, requiring more resilient, digital, and data-driven organizations. Efficiency alone is no longer sufficient; resilience and agility are key.
Rethinking Operations in the Next Normal” – McKinsey & Company⸻
Core Thesis: The “next normal” is not a temporary disruption. It is a permanent operating shift.Organizations must redesign operations to be:
• More resilient
• More digital
• More data-driven
• More agile
• Less dependent on legacy systems.
The pandemic didn’t create these pressures — it accelerated them.
Operations is now strategic.
Operations used to be seen as back-office efficiency. Now it is a competitive advantage.
Companies that thrive:
• Respond faster to disruption
• Use data to adjust supply chains
• Automate intelligently
• Reallocate resources quickly.
Operations become the center of value creation.
