Lack Of Knowledge

COVID-19 strongly hit healthcare organizations due to three factors: the lack of knowledge of this new virus, the fear of the people, and the continuous modifications in the management of the crisis. This situation required flexibility and adaptability of organizations, as our university health centre demonstrated. It relied on a decentralized model of management based on three pillars: a culture of innovation and creativity, an agile organizational structure, and an open innovation ecosystem and network. These assets were already developed prior to the onset of COVID-19 and helped our organization to better respond to the crisis.

Abstract As we come out of this pandemic, we must find the most effective and useful ways so that IUPAC fulfills its mission of contributing to the worldwide understanding and application of the chemical sciences to the betterment of humankind. New technologies provide us with the tools to achieve this goal in a very effective manner. For example, our next General Assembly, which will be held completely online, represents an unprecedented opportunity to engage with our NAOs in a way that will allow for discussing our most pressing needs in a new and effective way. We are already working on different options to have working groups meeting at different times in virtual rooms, so everybody can participate, raise any issues, and discuss how we can create a more effective, responsive, and agile organization. I encourage all delegates to our General Assembly to make full use of this opportunity. Also, I would like to invite the wider IUPAC community, including our members, Associated Organizations, Company Associates, and also our sister Chemical Societies, to let us know any ideas, things we must improve, or any opportunities for collaboration, so we can include them in our discussions during our next General Assembly.

Agile Organization

Organizacja „zwinna” traktowana jest jako jeden ze współczesnych podstawowych modeli kształtowania i doskonalenia organizacji. Fundamentem budowania „zwinnego” zarządzania w organizacji jest proces kreowania i dyfuzji wiedzy. Wiedza stanowi bowiem swoistą „dźwignię” rozwoju organizacji i źródło jej szeroko rozumianego potencjału. „Zwinność” organizacji wyrasta z procesów zarządzania wiedzą i przejawia się m.in. w adaptacyjności tej organizacji do endo- i egzogenicznych zmian. Model „zwinnej” organizacji wymaga również uwzględniania kryterium ryzyka. W organizacjach „zwinnych” ryzyko traktuje się przede wszystkim jako źródło szans dla organizacji, a nie zagrożeń. Artykuł ma charakter teoretyczno-empiryczny, a jego celem jest umiejscowienie kryterium ryzyka w modelu organizacji „zwinnej”, jak również określenie roli i znaczenia tego kryterium w kształtowaniu jej rozwoju. Przykładem organizacji „zwinnej”, w rozwoju której kryterium ryzyka odgrywa znaczącą rolę, jest firma McDonald’s. Działając w skali globalnej i stosując strategię dywersyfikacji poziomej, odnotowuje ona szereg zróżnicowanych czynników, jakie determinują jej funkcjonowanie. Można przyjąć nawet, że McDonald’s działa w swoistej „sieci” czynników ryzyka (tj. czynników szans/korzyści i czynników zagrożeń/strat). Firma ta wykorzystuje kryterium ryzyka do kreowania swojego potencjału, stosując m.in. zintegrowane podejście do zarządzania ryzykiem (bazujące na podejściu systemowym) oraz strategię ekspansji międzynarodowej, tj. uwzględniając zróżnicowanie poszczególnych rynków (a więc i czynników ryzyka) i dostosowując się do ich potrzeb, wymagań i możliwości – co z kolei jest przejawem elastyczności i adaptacyjności.

The Church

The missional church is a new consciousness which has been raised for the missionary sending of the church in the West to be a witness for the Kingdom of God in its own context. The missional church has returned mission to the centre of ecclesiology. A structural functioning of the missional church and its relation to existing church structures are essential to rescue the missional church from simply becoming the latest fad. The present missional church conversation in advocating for an organic church structure undermines existing institutional church structures. A dynamic functioning church structure in which the inward and outward dimensions of the church�s single ecclesiological structure are able to function in a cohesive unity is set out in Ephesians. The function of the gifted persons in the task of equipping of the believers to fulfil their missional calling, vocation and function is paramount to the healthy integration of the missional church model in existing mission and church paradigms and for it to function within the framework of existing church structures.Interdisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The article suggests that a dynamic unity exists between the ecclesiology of the church and missional structure and function of the church. The article explores interdisciplinary implications from the fields of the New Testament and missiology.
