The Economic Pandemic An Evolutionary Revolution Accelerating Disruptive Innovation Post Pandemic
The global pandemic has blinded many of us to the fact that digital disruption has dramatically accelerated this evolutionary rate of change to a revolutionary level. Every individual and organization has the ability to go beyond getting back to normal and instead reinvent their business models and processes. When the pandemic is over, digital disruption will continue at an even faster pace. Digital disruption does not have to be seen as negative, forcing us to react and respond. We can use new tools and new thinking to become positive disruptors, creating the transformations to build a better future for ourselves, our organizations, and our customers.
