COVID-19 Crisis



Social distancing to flatten the Corona Virus infection curve is critical to manage the pandemic

However, the unintended consequence of this action is a dramatic decline in interaction between individuals, teams, organization, suppliers and customers

  • Fear and distrust of each other

  • Ineffective alignment, commitment and collaboration between teams

  • Misalignment and poor communication between business functions

  • Opaque interfaces between companies and their suppliers, partners and customers

  • Breakdown of local and global supply Chains

Resulting in shutdown and slowdown of governments, corporations, small businesses, non-profits, and institutions
