I think most of us have now had invitations to engage online and socialise our learnings as we adjust to the new ways of doing business. This has been great and welcomed.
Some of us, though, are still challenged and grieving for the people we have let go, for the suppliers, we can no longer engage, even the eateries we can no longer visit. Some of us are coping well while others continue to grapple with the challenges of working from home but to the world present that everything is okay.
In all this enforced change, there are many silver linings especially for leaders and business owners to begin planning, to future proof their business, products, and services and to seize on the opportunity to be different.
We reflected on this and looked at our own business, its products and services, and working on future-proofing it to remain relevant. It’s been an eye-opening journey. We have enjoyed supporting our clients and community to understand their future needs and worked with existing and new partners to learn about new offerings as we all transition back into business, as usual, whatever that looks like.
What has become clear is client priorities are shifting and (their business and personal needs) are changing, as well how we work together – it’s definitely a leap into new ground and exciting at the same time. I am looking forward to whatever comes next.
So, I encourage you to think about how you can improve for staff, customers, suppliers, partners to be different or provide a better experience with your brand. Devote time to future-proofing your business and realign your purpose with how your customers’ will see the world and how they will make decisions as they transition from the aftereffects of this pandemic.
Inspired by the great work of many, we are assisting leaders to tell their story. If you would like help to tell your story, please contact us.
Thank you and wishing you a future filled with opportunity.
