The paper analyzes the systemic security risks that occur in times of crisis as a disruptive factor for the willingness to change, and adapt through the prism of new visions. Socially safer, more sensitive, and more equitable models of organizations are possible in the future after emerging from the pandemic crisis only if our current image inevitably contains an embedded gender aspect of transformation. The main goal is to ensure organizationally that state interventions do not exacerbate injustices and gender-based inequalities. Also, to promote, where possible, greater equality in gender relations in the organization, access to equal access to resources and control, but also to the constraints they face. Innovative models of the organizations we strive for should contain a different picture of gender roles, activities, needs, opportunities, and rights that affect men, women, girls, and boys in a particular economic situation or social context. The inclusion of women in entrepreneurship is one of the necessary conditions for innovative models of organizations that permanently learn, reduced to everyday pragmatism, colored by persistence, struggle, and empathy. It is not just a vision for new organizational models. It is simply a futuristic orientation, as shown by case studies of the functioning of women entrepreneurs from Čačak during emergency measures.
