Global Research
In March, April and May, we conducted the research to capture emerging best practices and strategies for “Phase 1- Rapid Respons”, about how to mitigate the immediate impact of Covid-19”.
This research consists of:
-
Conversations and desk research about crisis management.
-
Multiple panel discussions, interviews and webinars with service leaders across the world.

Typical challenges in Phase 1
Rapid Response:
- Mitigate the direct impact immediately
- Get on the fence to prepare for the “new normal” and thrive in the upcoming market disruption.
We must not stay in a defensive fire-fighting mode to avoid being disrupted and becoming one of the losers. - Fast track the Redesign and Innovation of your business, with the right focus.
It is too complex to win this with a hack, a tactic or a silver bullet. We need a framework to succeed.
