The development of a hand sanitiser dispenser that is touch-free to minimise the transmission of pathogens.
Coronavirus
The Coronavirus crisis has affected the global stage in a way not seen in living memory.
Clearly, the main emphasis is and should be on containing and mitigating the COVID-19 disease itself. But the economic impacts are also significant, and many companies are feeling their way towards understanding, reacting to, and learning lessons from rapidly unfolding events. Unanticipated twists and turns will be revealed with each news cycle, and we will only have a complete picture in retrospect.
Nevertheless, given the very different degrees of preparedness across companies, the further potential for disruption, and the value of being better prepared for future crises, it’s worth trying to extract what we have learned so far:
1) Update intelligence on a daily basis.
2) Beware of hype cycles / news cycles.
3) Don’t assume that information creates informedness.
4) Use experts and forecasts carefully.
5) Constantly reframe your understanding of what’s happening.
6) Beware of bureaucracy getting in your way.
7) Make sure your response is balanced across these seven dimensions:
-
Communications
-
Employee needs
-
Travel
-
Remote work
-
Supply-chain stabilization
-
Business tracking and forecasting
-
Being part of the broader solution
8) Use resilience principles in developing policies.
9) Prepare now for the next crisis.
10) Intellectual preparation is not enough.
11) Reflect on what you’ve learned.
12) Prepare for a newly changed world.
