In episode 6 of The "New Normal" podcast series, Professor Saku Mantere from The Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University, and Editor-in-Chief of Delve, discusses how organizations have responded and adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic: whether universities, governments, or businesses, many responded to the crisis by adapting quickly and performing beyond expectations. Why are some organizations at their best when facing a problem, while others flag? Professor Mantere also addresses the effects of Zoom – and the lack of physical classrooms and workspaces – on organizations, innovation processes, and the future of work in an even more rapidly changing world.

Before the first case of COVID-19 was ever diagnosed, policy makers, scholars, and practitioners had been exploring how developments in AI, machine learning, and the gig economy were reshaping the labour market.

Then the pandemic happened, and it forced us to rethink these debates altogether: our offices have merged with our homes, long-established processes have been erased, and entirely new roles have been created.

To help us understand how these changes will impact the future of work, we’re joined by Lisa Cohen, an associate professor of organizational behaviour at McGill University who specializes in jobs and the labour market, and Scott McDonald, the  President and CEO of Oliver Wyman, an international management consulting firm.

For the past year, our hospitals have experienced an unprecedented strain to treat the masses of patients infected with COVID-19 – a challenge that has revealed many important barriers to accessing quality care. So, in the middle of a pandemic, it seems only fitting that we’d explore the advances taking place to modernize health care delivery, many of which are powered by disruptive technologies.

To tell us more about what this transformation could look like and how can we ensure that no one is left behind, we’re joined by Susan DeVore, CEO of Premier Inc., a leading US-based healthcare improvement company, and Beste Kucukyazici, former McGill professor of Operations Management.

In the throes of a pandemic, we’ll hear from someone who is all too familiar with leading through unprecedented crisis. That person is Shaun Donovan, former United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and Director of the Office of Management and Budget under the Obama Administration.

In discussion with Professor Sebastien Betermier, Shaun tells the story of how he helped steer the U.S. out of The Great Recession, led rebuilding efforts following Hurricane Sandy, and worked to remedy veteran homelessness -- a story rich in lessons that remain as relevant as ever in the wake of COVID-19.
