"Scrambling": An ability and a process.

With Dr. Jennifer Dimoff, Assistant Professor, Telfer School of Management, University of Ottawa

The concept “scrambling” that refers to how human beings respond to a crisis adaptively, could not apply to the situation any better than the one we are experiencing today. Co-author of a book chapter on this particular topic, Dr. Dimoff explains the 4 steps of this process.

This initiative is supported by the Chief Scientist of Québec with the Québec Research Funds.
