Keynote Address: COVID-19: The new risk landscape
-
Our world has taken a seismic shift in terms of daily life. We have fast forwarded by 10 years in how we operate in business almost overnight and with the expected impact on the global economy to be felt for many years to come.
People in work life have had to change patterns of working and adjust to a new rhythm, how is this panning out in corporate life and what do businesses need to be considering in order to manage the associated new risks in human terms.
What has the response been from business, what has been highlighted and what need to happen next?
How have companies responded to these extraordinary circumstances brought about by Covid-19 and the lockdowns to maintain business continuity?
What have we learnt about the risks to business associated with mass homeworking and people not used to working from home on a sustained basis?
Why do we need to take on board and share these learnings and how can we use the experience to build sustainable resilience and why is collaboration important?
How important is it for leaders to be aware of different home working situations and condition and the risk to the wellbeing of their teams and employees?
A more agile and flexible approach to work life has an impact on leadership - how are corporates going to minimise associate business risk and come out on top?
