Episode Description

As we move into another period of lockdown, we would like revisit some of the observations we made in the beginning of the year when we first faced the unseen enemy of the pandemic. Revisiting what we predicted in April can help us reflect on what has become the new norm and what we may have not yet implemented because--- lets be honest--- it was hard to change all practices and processes at once. In March, time-strapped, and under tremendous pressure we were forced to re-evaluate practices and processes. We witnessed great creativity from agile companies. Quick to respond, they showed us best practices that we continue to learn from. In this episode we speak with the Chief Commercial Officer of a medium-sized European Company, that was first out of the gate with many best practices that have now been adopted in many companies. Listening to this episode can help you review your own practices as we enter this second wave.
