Re-model, re-imagine and re-start

The COVID 19 pandemic has, and is, having an impact on much of what we do and how we do it, for businesses, and in our behaviour as individuals.

• Smarter working has already arrived and will soon be the new standard across organisations.

Businesses will need to re-model and adapt to rapid on-going change

• Processes will have to change to create new, re-engineered ways to manage and accommodate novel and changed business offers, procedures, and guidelines; there will be new norms for operating, interacting, travelling, and distributing goods and services.

• Changing and adapting processes will be necessary not just because it is required but also because it is smart and better to do so. The reduction in travel, face-to-face meetings, “going to the office”, and the increased use of technology has generated a number of un-expected cost and efficiency benefits. New ways of working have quickly established themselves through necessity and expedience.

Disrupted and damaged supply chains to be re-configured

• Many businesses and employees have been forced to adapt and navigate change which has been forced on them – a process which is initially uncomfortable and dis-orientating.

Enforced change has brought unexpected benefits

What this means :

Significant changes to how and where business is done

• The ways of working and processes will need to change and adapt to new conditions, ways of interacting and operational practices in handling customers and associated supply chains.
• Business leaders will need to manage through these changes and will need support to design and implement the required modifications quickly, sustainably, and flexibly.

Rapid Digitisation, business benefits and societal gains

• Wider societal benefits will include reductions in pollution, less damage to the environment, and the capability to build more sustainable value chains and to achieve a better work-life balance for employees.
• The challenges will include increased fraud and on-line crime as many more transactions and communications are conducted on-line – initially including a new group, of mainly older people/those with less-developed technology skills.
