Abstract

Project description Corona hits us all hard. Particularly in the healthcare sector, an enormous response has been initiated to receive sometimes very sick people. Outside of healthcare, almost everyone has to deal with the measures. The quality of decision-making in a crisis like this is of great importance. Research This project focuses on the organization of decision-making. Looking back, we want to learn from the first and second waves of the pandemic. Looking ahead, we try to learn lessons with the actors involved. The starting point is that some form of 'adaptive management' is required; a board that can adapt to unexpected and uncertain circumstances. The virus will be with us for a long time and that means we have to learn to live with it. We use the metaphor of dance to give meaning to this adaptive way of dealing with the virus. How can we learn to dance (better)? We hope to contribute to this by following decision-making processes and reflecting on them together with those involved.
