There is a burning platform that we all face in our lives right now.
What is our burning platform?
The burning platform metaphor comes from the Piper Alpha Disaster of 1988 where workers lost their life because the oil rig exploded. Those who did survive had the choice of staying on the burning rig or jumping 150ft into the sea with burning debris. So, the choice was between certain or possible death. It was a terrible tragedy and those that did survive were the ones who jumped.
Since ‘The Burning Platform’ has been translated into organisational speak for big and generally urgent situations that will have massive impacts on how we work or live our lives.
We all recently faced the burning platform of the pandemic COVID-19 and the lockdown completely changing the way we live and work. Because of this a lot of people would have moved from a living mindset to a survival mindset.
