AI, automation, and continuous economic volatility are fundamentally reshaping how people work and earn. Our communities need the capacity to navigate uncertainty, maintain agency through disruption, and adapt to conditions that change faster than any plan can accommodate.

Economic Adaptation (EA) is a comprehensive framework that builds the core competencies people need to thrive in an era of continuous change. 

Rather than teaching people to optimize for stability, EA develops adaptive capacity—the ability to make sound decisions under stress, leverage diverse resources, and maintain psychological resilience when everything around them is shifting.

EA recognizes that people move through stages of economic well-being (from disconnection to security to stability to agency) and that their ability to navigate those stages depends on learnable skills.

Through this conversation, participants will develop:

• a deeper understanding of the prevailing and potential economic shocks and disruptions we are facing;
• ability to recognize the emotional and psychological toll these disruptions can cause;
• awareness of how Economic Adaptation enables mobility through the stages of economic well-being; and
• a basic understanding of the Economic Adaptation framework.

Attend this webinar to understand the five competencies that will improve a person’s ability to navigate uncertainty and change.
