While Archetype was already set up for remote work, like most companies, we weren’t fully prepared to have our entire company work remotely. It is also being able to create a remote environment that enables, empowers, and supports our employees, our clients, and our partners. Resilience isn’t just capital management, however. Being able to communicate financial confidence to our employees, clients and partners removed the (natural) concern they might otherwise have had as economic activity came to a halt in many segments of the economy. We also stress-tested all of our current budget assumptions against multiple scenarios and tightened our cash management process. We made sure our lines of credit were secured and in place to fund Archetype for multiple years, not just 2020. As COVID-19 started to spread internationally we moved to increase our financial resilience. Resilience is a critical success factor for any business – and all of us are having it tested now. The project is being led by a cross-functional and multi-experience level task force charged with focusing all of Archetype’s disparate perspectives and expertise on initiatives that would allow the organization to come out of this situation more resilient and impactful than pre-COVID-19. In early March, as it became clearer that COVID-19 was growing into a prolonged crisis, we launched an internal project (named after the Daft Punk song) focused on getting “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” during these extraordinary times. So, after the fourth CEO in under a week told us that she’d taken notes on what we’d shared about the organization-wide project we’ve launched at Archetype to manage the economic and public health challenges we’re all facing, it made us think it was time to share more broadly. Our mission at Archetype is to grow extraordinary companies through operationalizing innovation.
