Transform forward: Horizons of Response

What’s your Horizon?

Find Your Path

Managing the impacts of crisis is much like running up a steep mountain trail. You need to be present, acutely aware of your footing, and with an eye towards the peak. 

Leaders often struggle to look at the path that stretches ahead, opting for short-term actions that address immediate workforce, customer, and operational needs, but stifle long-term growth. At North Highland, we help companies chart their path across horizons to achieve a stronger future. 

AS

Confidently evolve as you navigate towards a more adaptable future.

You need to approach crisis response and recovery across three horizons, deploying workforce constructs to achieve near-term viability and stability while preparing for a future recovery that sustains organizational durability and adaptability. 

To effectively navigate, it’s helpful to understand where you are on your path. 

Horizon 1: Viability

Immediate and incremental responses to crisis.

Reactive decision-making is focused on immediate crisis response and physical and financial preservation.

Horizon 2: Stability

Insightfully proactive and prepared actions.

A more comprehensive analysis becomes possible, brought into clearer focus with more information about the crisis, allowing the development of multiple options and scenarios.

Horizon 3: Durability and Adaptability

Informed strategic readiness.

A full understanding of the impact on demand, supply chain, customers, competitors, and government response enables companies to create a comprehensive analysis of their workforce options.
