Author: Rosan Yanisce Ferrer & Charisse Ann Kho
Years from now we’ll look back and ask each other, “Who was the driver for your Digital Process and Transformation?” and probably the answer of most will be COVID-19.
At present, we may possibly be on the verge of this global crisis, and everyone all over the world would want this to end soon. In this kind of unforeseen situation, businesses were forced to adapt so abruptly and finally reconsider a new and evolved Digital Transformation.
There is Good News
In the first part of this mini-series, we tackled how this global situation opened the window for businesses today to rethink and adjust the way they operate. We have seen businesses shifting to remote working and telecommuting as the main way of conversing to one another, and many more.
COVID-19 has opened the eyes of the world to shift their perspective to see that something greater is beyond this. There is a window of opportunity for you and your business to exceed your day-to-day achievements. At this moment, everyone should be ready to face what is ahead of them as we go back to the new normal – a long road of learning process.
Post COVID19 World: Technology vs. Process
Being quarantined at home, people are starting to find different ways to do things in the comfort of their own homes. With the augmentation of technology, everyone is suddenly capable of doing more, and now, they will be forced to rethink processes. Once the virus is gone, the world will definitely be a different place. Will your business be able to keep the status quo? And if it will, would it be able to survive the next major disruption?
It is not the biggest companies that survive these disruptions, but the ones that are prepared- those that have taken a step ahead of crises and evaluated what they need to augment their workforce. Gone are the days when people will merely focus on efficiency and productivity. The COVID situation will start the paradigm shift towards recovery and business continuity planning.
But how do you know what best will help your company fight against these invisible threats?
