This is not the time to circle the wagons...
In our current economic environment, it is almost impossible to not think about the COVID-19 pandemic.
While your first instinct is to circle the wagons and ride out the storm, there is much that can and should be achieved. This is not the time to just survive, it is time to develop the foundation for the future.
This is the time to execute all the internal tedious time-intensive plans we all need but are not a strict priority, and therefore keep getting put on hold.
This is the ideal time to perform;
Crucial maintenance
Update Company Systems
Inventory
Financial
e-Commerce
Organise and clean up data
Prepare for year-end
Re-evaluate workflows
Re-evaluate all procedures
Design a staff training schedule
And last but not least, the future of work at home. Now that we are all being forced to adopt it, how many will keep the model once the dust settles?
