Two generic frameworks illustrate how such responses can be characterized as rapid innovation or strategic resilience. Current organizational examples are used to demonstrate how these frameworks can be applied to find quick and effective solutions to Covid-19 problems. Lessons learned and recommendations for addressing similar problems in the future are also included.
