Resuming a Readiness Posture for Your Business

While we are still in the midst of this storm and crippling pandemic, there are most assuredly blue skies ahead. As we gradually emerge from our shelters and allow a phased resumption of commerce, COVID-19 will leave an indelible psychological and emotional imprint of loss, grief and uncertainty. It seems to be universally accepted that we will not simply be able to rewind and recapture pre-2020 business momentum.

Our Revised Future Is Here

It is naïve to think that this is a “once-in-a-century” phenomenon in an increasingly connected world. Treat this global pandemic as a fluke at our own peril.

As business leaders, we can choose our approach –simply accept new paradigms and react compliantly or grab the bull by the horns and make our own, informed course corrections. What is catastrophic in the eyes of some, from a slightly different perspective represents a “tough mudder”, Spartan race obstacle course for others. Many of our colleagues and business partners recognize that the latter is the only viable option, and are already rethinking tomorrow.

Digital Transformation Ensures Business Continuity

Degrees of both readiness and vulnerability vary wildly across industry sectors and from enterprise to enterprise. It is no coincidence that our clients were better prepared than so many businesses to weather this storm. By embracing Digital Transformation and making incremental investments in response to the evolution of a distributed economy, forward thinking companies have been better equipped to support employee productivity, engage their customers, and continue effective if modified operations.

As citizens, our empathy for those displaced is reflected in our commitments to our neighbors and communities in macroeconomic recovery. As technologists, we are working diligently to carry forward the momentum of the last decade — developing, implementing, and integrating digital solutions that can ensure business continuity and service delivery even in the face of unforgiving disruption.
