Abstract Research Summary This study explores how digital transformation can promote organizational resilience when incumbent firms face crises. We examine the intersection of and resilience‐seeking processes through two longitudinal case studies designated as “essential businesses” during COVID‐19 pandemic. analyze 72 crisis adaptations implemented to understand previously underutilized capabilities upgraded each firm's ability adapt mitigate stakeholder risks engage in rather than advantage‐ or opportunity‐seeking. identify five capabilities—virtual access, virtual collaboration, data‐driven decision‐making, algorithmic reprogrammability, assisted decision‐making—that arose from technologies acquired enable before crisis. discuss concept opportunities contribute literatures on resilience. Managerial While studying firms, we found that helped pandemic ways management plans did not anticipate. As a result, these accelerated initiatives years strategic planning had failed achieve. explain why quantum leap only crisis, but adaptation also enabled them bounce back more resilient competitive show pursuit be vital justification for investments transformation. Strategic leaders play critical role adopting new technologies, helping become adaptive by combining legacy technologies.
