Is Your Organizational Culture Prepared for COVID-19?

Everyone agrees that COVID-19 is disrupting businesses in ways that will be felt for quite some time. What we consider “normal” working behaviors will shift. In particular, we see three issues that will drive how sales, marketing, and service will need to adapt to the new “normal”.

  1. Physical distance will remain an issue for some time
  2. There is a push to ramp up trends that were already taking place, such as:

    3. Ordering online
  3. Cybersecurity will become even more critical
