Pivot

Desperate times call for desperate measures. The layoffs and furloughs are adding up. Companies are scrambling to ride out the storm and to survive. Life, as we knew it, has been turned upside down. 

Those that will weather the proverbial storm are those that have the ability to pivot. It does not take keen business acumen to make good decisions with perfect information. It does, however, take smarts and foresight to deal with tons of uncertainty, and high levels of ambiguity — and still survive. 

Markets have dried up, travel has come to a stand still, and almost all industries, including our own, has been hosed. Time to look at age old problems with a new lens, and come up with new solutions. Sitting quietly will not ease the pain. Who said this was going to be easy?
