Abstract

The post-pandemic workforce is seemingly the same in many respects to its pre-pandemic condition, though in actuality it has been transformed by a profound experience. To reconstitute economically and socially in the post-pandemic era, there is immense value in examining the virtues, and appreciating the consequences of the pandemic on the regional, national, and global economy.
There is a need for strategic leadership to provide flexibility and adaptation as we prepare for future disruption (Christensen, Raynor, and Macdonald, 2015; Christensen, 2016) and never more so than as we recover and adjust in a post-pandemic global economy (Moss, 2022) across a range of sectors. For the purposes of this discussion Screen Business for emergent and experienced Producers is examined and backgrounded.

Leading teams through disruption – whether economic, environmental, or societal – requires emotional and social intelligence, tempered with strategic planning skills and an array of refined and nuanced applications in business (Jacobides & Reeves, 2020). For educators the prospect of equipping students with an increased skill set to provide insight and inspiration to leadership, and followership alike, provides challenges to teaching and learning that in itself requires adaptation.

This paper discusses modes by which it is possible to adapt in real-time to engage with uncertainty and the unknown in screen business pedagogy and consider applications of revised and flexible strategic management approaches across screen business and other sectors (Reed, 2022).
