This year's top articles take stock of the Covid-19 crisis, its future impact and the way forward.

The year’s top INSEAD Knowledge articles took stock of the Covid-19 pandemic’s shattering global impact, while imagining what life will look like when the smoke clears. From forms of emotional coping to strategic solutions for business recovery, INSEAD faculty offered insights on adjusting to profoundly disrupted lifestyles and working conditions. At the same time, they reminded us that the post-Covid world is, to a great degree, a work in progress. It’s up to us.
