2. What has changed since the
beginning of COVID – 19?
– Lifestyle
– The complete social life (Family gathering, meeting friends, etc.)
– The way of doing business
– Our regular activities
– Psychological balance and pressure
– Income & Expenditure patterns
– Travel & Recreation
– Comfort zone
– Many others…..

3. Challenging the current
uncertainties!
– Remember VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity), a term used in
US Army in 1990’s vs VUCA 2.0 rephrased by George in 2017 (Vision,
Understanding, Courage, Adaptability)?
– New Mantra: Be curious, flexible, risk tolerant and positive
– Mend your ways to the new business strategies which are:
– Reviewing and reframing their purpose
– Retooling their approach
– Transforming to the new normal
– And this brings in millions of opportunities for the society at large
