Remember when there were crises, but in an orderly fashion? One crisis at a time, clearly marked, easily named; you dealt with one before moving to another, and that was what life was. Executives learnt that crisis management was a special case, one with its own consultants and checklists, and the assumption was that crises were sorted sequentially, in an ordered fashion. That was then, and this is now. A now that is defined by seemingly endless crises, one leading into the next. Some would blame the pandemic, and the way it triggered economic disruption, social unrest, educational chaos, mental health crises, supply chain failures, and political instability. Others would lay blame at the new instability of geopolitics, where the old order is starting to look like halcyon times, and people are looking back to the era of Clinton and Yeltsin with the kind of nostalgia normally afforded seminal rock albums. Today, our expectations have changed. Where we used to see crises as something to solve, now we increasingly see them as something that feeds into other crises, creating feedback loops and amplification effects that defy traditional crisis management approaches. Sure, there have been cases of multiple crises occurring simultaneously, but that no longer seems sufficient to describe what we’re experiencing. This is something qualitatively different. Not a crisis, nor a calamity of crises, but something stranger than all these – a polycrisis. ## Jaa tämä julkaisu [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aipublishinghouse.com%2Fyrityksen-aipublishinghouse-oy-blogi%2Fpolycrisis-what-it-is](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aipublishinghouse.com%2Fyrityksen-aipublishinghouse-oy-blogi%2Fpolycrisis-what-it-is) ## Jatka lukemista ### [The Unreality Studio When Trees Start Making City Planning Decisions: My Journey into Collective Intelligence](https://www.aipublishinghouse.com/yrityksen-aipublishinghouse-oy-blogi/when-trees-start-making-city-planning-decisions-my-journey-into-collective-intelligence) ### [The Unreality Studio Dreaming in Code: How Abstract Thinking Became My Superpower](https://www.aipublishinghouse.com/yrityksen-aipublishinghouse-oy-blogi/dreaming-in-code-how-abstract-thinking-became-my-superpower) [![Untitled design (7)](https://www.aipublishinghouse.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(7).png?width=255&height=100&name=Untitled%20design%20(7).png "Untitled design (7)")](https://www.aipublishinghouse.com/) Address:  Helsinki, Finland Phone: +358 40 590 2131 Email: info@aipublishinghouse.com [mailto:info@aipublishinghouse.com](mailto:info@aipublishinghouse.com) --- [Privacy Policy](https://www.aipublishinghouse.com/privacy-policy) | All Rights Reserved ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Mika Aaltonen", "url" : "https://www.aipublishinghouse.com/yrityksen-aipublishinghouse-oy-blogi/author/mika-aaltonen" }, "dateModified" : "2026-05-26T10:35:47.328Z", "datePublished" : "2026-02-04T07:15:00.000Z", "headline" : "Polycrisis – What It Is?", "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.aipublishinghouse.com/yrityksen-aipublishinghouse-oy-blogi/polycrisis-what-it-is", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://www.aipublishinghouse.com/hubfs/56195b44-9f23-4aa8-bad3-5f19c5dc4bc6_removalai_preview.png" }, "name" : "AIPublishinghouse Oy" } } ```
