Design For Resilience

The unprecedented events of 2020 have brought to light the foundational errors of some of the crucial systems. For example:

Lack of digitization in official government functions.

Schools suffered because of a lack of internet and hurdles in the last mile connectivity in remote villages.

Twin-burden of investing in additional resources and experiencing loss of business due to restricted patient footfall, faced by the private healthcare sector.

These and many applications, systems failed to withstand the effects of this pandemic. What these systems lacked were decisions shaped by the responses based on the impact on human safety and welfare.

It is not the first and not the last of such events. We invite you to present design ideas and concepts for a new and resilient future.
