Abstract

The Covid-19 crisis has plunged organizations into what Weick calls a cosmological incident in which the loss of meaning results from the lack of rationality in what is happening and the inability to find ways to reconstruct meaning. Organizations, and society in general, have had to adapt to a pandemic in new ways than they knew before. To understand this phenomenon, the ESSEC Change and IMEO Chairs have produced three books with fifteen companies to describe what happened between March 2020 and June 2021 (Crisis change in June 2020, Crisis trajectory in September 2020, Travail and Hybrid Organization in June 2021 published by Eska). These observations and feedback from the field show the emergence of the importance for an organization to develop forms of organizational resilience to adapt, reinvent itself and transform constraints into opportunities. With the objective of helping companies to think about this notion of organizational resilience and to deploy devices constituting this notion, we propose to describe how the author K. E. Weick has defined it in his various writings.
