In a recent article published by MIT Sloan Management Review, the writer argues that the short term changes we are currently having to face point towards (much needed) long-term adjustments across the board. The ongoing pandemic is a wakeup call for all of us. It made companies and businesses around the world realize the planetary limitations while understanding the impact of a globalized economy and supply chain. The ongoing pandemic is forcing many businesses to adopt a ‘people first’ approach to many of its operations, highlighting the need for businesses to actively rethink their ‘mode d’operation’ on all levels.
The final episode of the first season of The Boardroom Webinar Series brought Will Hutson (CEO of LMTD) and Dr. Steven Griffiths from Khalifa University to discuss the new frontiers facing business, innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship.
Questions and discussion points to be covered (Main takeaways):
- Managing expectations: Will multinational companies go back to business as usual once the COVID-19 pandemic is over? Or is there really hope for long-term changes
- What role do startups play in creating this ‘bottom-up’ movement
- Climate change and its link to disease and peril: What will it take for us to learn the connection between the two? (Especially now that we have hard data-backed evidence)
