As a result of the pandemic, the world is entirely different from what we imagined before 2020.
Sense of Urgency
Before the pandemic, there used to be long decision-making processes. The pandemic has instilled an element of urgency and the need to change rapidly within businesses. They have woken up to the post-pandemic reality with a sense of urgency to seize the opportunities out there.
Forward-looking customers can see things not just as they were but as they could be and are preparing now for the post-pandemic world. They recognize that while many things are not within their control, and if they are to just sit and wait until things get perfect, they will not get very far ahead.
Adopting Technology
From a technology point of view, this has resulted in businesses rushing to get new tools. There are two business responses:
1/ Those that seize the opportunity to innovate by shifting to digital solutions
2/ Those that feel the pressure of the market and the changes in the environment and adopt digital solutions without innovating.
These businesses have made the digital shift in both cases and are therefore ready to scale up and capture new markets. The former is further ahead, but the latter has also started on the digital transformation journey and will learn as they move along.
Those that do nothing are the ones who will be left behind and not be able to face the changes coming to all of us.
