Coronavirus coverage

A collection of research materials on the impacts of COVID-19 on investment organisations

The coronavirus impacts have been multiple and far-reaching. The Thinking Ahead Institute (TAI) has always emphasised the merit in seeing the investment industry and its connected parts as a system. We refer to this system in the tag-line: everything connects and behaviours matter. This has enabled TAI to take a holistic view of the wider ramifications of COVID-19 on governments, markets, organisations, end investors, wider society and the planet.

On this hub are a collection of reports, multimedia and articles that are relevant for these extraordinary times.

Coronavirus crisis – wider perspectives Act II

Act II is going to be about trying to make sense of the coronavirus crisis by juggling more aspects, reactions and complexities as new characters, sub-plots and ideas emerge.
There are significant opportunities for organisations to scale up by redefining their boundaries and make more widescale change for the benefit of their biggest asset – their people. Organisations are stepping up by becoming more emotionally intelligent and humanistic. But their success relies on something quite special. It needs a new form of leadership.
