Will businesses regain some form of normalcy as global economies gradually re-open in the aftermath of the covid-19? Has the pandemic permanently reshaped the world, and render previous business models and leadership styles irrelevant in the “Next Normal”? When can businesses emerge from this downturn and what can you do to build resilience against future disruptions? And in what ways can you capitalise on the crisis to convert it to opportunities?
As we gear up our recovery efforts, it is imperative that companies accept it is no longer “Business As Usual”. Re-positioning your brands, as well as re-thinking and re-shaping business strategies, are of utmost importance to survive and thrive in the Next Future.
