Life after Covid-19

Life after Covid-19

I am not certain people will live the same way again around the world. However, we all need to be hopeful and grateful to be here.

A lot of businesses will have to develop products that are essential for the markets. Any business that is not in the need market will lose on the new market share. This new era, innovation is inevitable. If you are not innovating because you lack creativity, then hire a strategy consultant like myself with experience to help look at your business products and mode of operation and delivery. Innovate, disrupt or go home.

Big organisations will invest in digitalisation and good change management. Change management is critical to project success, in any kind scale of industry or organisation, if the change management is not managed well, it will flop. Even as the government tries to implement new laws and systems in place, to help citizens, good communications are a key component of change management. Will share more light another week.

Big data, business analyst, product managers and agile project managers like me will be on high demand as we need real time information on managing projects that are viable.

Having technology experience in any industry will be a great advantage.

There will be a demand for leaders who have experience in leading during crisis. Also, it is important consultants are also ready to offer trainings and coaching services online, – Like me, I have hosted so many live chats and webinars.

Online business is here to stay. Zoom has been a life saver but there are so many other online meeting platforms like Go To meetings, GO TO Webinars, Conference call App, ETC. Companies like Career Insigts.tv.com will be helping a lot of people get digital work experience so they can get hired here and internationally.

Digital learning has taken a new shape we need to expect new learning devices that are safer for children from technology giants. That’s a fresh market there.
