4 key Takeaways
It’s better to be future forward
No one was ready for the pandemic. Many enterprises, however, had already begun their transformation journey. These companies were better equipped to handle the digital load when the crisis struck and are reaping the benefits of digitalization today.
Educate stakeholders on the art of possibility
Technology and people share one thing in common: limitless potential. We need to take the time to help every stakeholder understand the unexplored possibilities that the right people and the right technology can unlock.
Make the world your talent pool with flexibility forever
Creating a hybrid environment gives people the flexibility to work when and where they see fit. In addition to being the foundation for this flexibility, digital also gives organizations access to talent beyond geographical boundaries.
People are an investment with guaranteed ROI
Whether it’s an investment in upskilling your employees or their wellbeing, it’s bound to bear fruit in terms of productivity and retention. But businesses need to look beyond their people to a higher purpose that creates an impact for the community.
While a large number of companies are quickly adapting to the new normal, the wiser ones have already realized that this is the ‘now normal’. The world is at a point of inflection. While there’s no going back, things are still constantly changing and will continue to do so until we settle into the next normal.
Whether it is organizing work for a distributed workforce, tapping into new drivers of productivity, or reaching new levels of agility and resilience, leaders are seizing the moment to create organizations of the future. Timothy F Ryan, US Chair and Senior Partner, PwC; Mike Madsen, President and CEO, Honeywell Aerospace; and Barbara Humpton, President and CEO, Siemens USA were part of the panel discussion, moderated by Ravi Kumar S, President, Infosys. These change makers dissected the art of adaptation, sharing their insights and experiences along the way.
There’s a real opportunity to reinvent and rethink. Given that we have these tools, what else could we possibly do?
