“Every aspect of life is now open for discussion. It has become clear that, to drive change for the better, our society must develop organizational ambidexterity - the skill to deal with problems of the present while anticipating future scenarios. This is the new normal. In our research, we dive into the uncertainties of today and the near future in order to understand how to best tackle them.”
A few examples of their work focused on the current world crisis:
- They provide a comprehensive Guide to Remote Work that has already helped more than 500 partners to stay on top of challenges and discover everything they need to know about digital solutions and benefits for the corporate world.
- Applying agility in practice, MJV developed Plügüe, a collaborative and high impact initiative that uses Artificial Intelligence to connect scientists, researchers, creatives and volunteers to face COVID-19.
- In addition, MJV launched TogetherNow, an editorial line to promote practices of mindfulness for its followers. Internally, they hold online engagement meetings to get through these difficult days together, in a connected network.
One of their newest locations is a research laboratory housed within UFRJ – Federal University of Rio de Janeiro – the largest federal university in Brazil and one of the country’s centers of excellence in teaching and research.
On their website, MJV generously offers many resources available for download at no charge, including these two ebooks which can be particularly relevant in the midst of the pandemic:
- Design Thinking: This book presents the essential steps, techniques and tools to inspire you on your journey towards innovation, illustrated with case studies.
- Gamification, Inc: Gamification is the use of games mechanics with the goal of solving practical issues or of engaging a specific audience. This technique has been applied in several fields such as health, education, public policies, and sports.
