Adaptive Capacity for Business

Nov. 30 from 12 to 1 p.m.

Participants can learn about Adaptive Capacity and what that means for business.

Pamela Stambaugh, president and founder of Accountability Pays Inc, will talk about Adaptive Capacity and how to respond to the challenges and uncertainty brought about not only by the wildfires of Aug. 8, but also ongoing turmoil that exists in the nation today. 

“Adaptive Capacity” is being able to understand and accept what is happening while being responsible for the impact on others.

When it comes to managerial roles, this is particularly important because a manager’s behavior has impacts. This inquiry covers the delicate balance between external forces, internal forces, and choices made. Adaptive Capacity, then, is the ability to adapt quickly and appropriately, driven by behaviors and limited by blind spots.
