Getting ahead of the curve

Sure, resources are tight and demands are high. Due to the slow learning curve of how to conduct business and live safely in a coronavirus era, companies are bracing for a longer term 'new normal.' As an optimist, I call it the perfect time to re-evaluate your organization's position in the market, strategy, infrastructure and investments. During the Great Recession of 2008, many companies re-evaluated their business model and invested in automation, customization and higher potential employees. Now, to get ahead of the curve, it may be time to improve your data, consider machine learning, artificial intelligence, improved ecommerce and digital experiences to augment customer experience and increase efficiency.
