Adaptation is simultaneously conservative and open-minded. It relies on responsiveness to feedback. Part of this responsiveness comes from a capacity to identify information from multiple sources relevant to the present or the future. It is the capacity to adjust from the traditional, conformist, and habitual thoughts and behaviors in response to both internal and external environments. The adaptive process is where one’s attention, goals, and actions are continuously tailored to the experience in focus. It is a multilevel process that allows adjustment at both cognitive and behavioral levels. Adaptive capacity is a large framework for living, working, and problem solving. Arguably, people and organizations within the modern era need to develop adaptive capacity to deal with new dynamic circumstances such as globalization and digitalization, where there is an amplification of global social relations. By doing so, they can learn to thrive in less static and less predictable environments than previously existed. Because globalization has brought dramatic increases in interdependence and connectivity among social, economic, and political phenomena, there are new and unexpected tensions created which emanate from the paradoxical effects of the stark juxtaposition of the local and the global. It is no longer easy to distinguish between the close and the far, the real and the virtual as technology brings any part of the world to individuals wherever there is Internet connection. A challenge for individuals and organizations is therefore to learn to better meet adaptive challenges and adaptive changes more broadly. This requires both adaptive mindsets for individuals and adaptive cultures for organizations.
