How do you see the current business landscape and the evolving role of HR in enabling employees to stay productive amid all this chaos?

The new buzz words are things like "agility" and "flexibility," and this speaks to the reality that the only effective way to deal with chaos and uncertainty is by being able and willing to react quickly and make smart changes as business conditions change.
