Polycrises as organizational crises

Speaker: Olivier Borraz, CNRS Research Professor, Director of the Crisis Lab, Centre for the Sociology of Organizations, Science Po, Paris, France

We live in societies saturated with organizations and organizing processes. This creates multiple challenges in terms of coordination and information-sharing, both in normal times and during crisis situations. Accordingly, in the latter case, crisis management refers to the capacity for organizations to navigate through complex and unstable organizational arrangements.

Join us for the first installment of the Polycrisis Network's Seminar Series to hear Prof. Borraz argue that organizational saturation in normal times is also a source of uncertainty and instability that fuels the emergence of crises. In other words, the multiplication of crises and their complex nature is a product of a society of organizations.

Prof Borraz will be dialling in from Paris to join us for the session. Those who attend in person will also be able to benefit from networking with the Network's Co-leads and other attendees following his presentation.

This is a hybrid event, once registered you will be sent a meeting appointment with details for in-person attendance and the online joining link.
