State of Readiness; Daniel Bumblauskas, Ph.D., COVID-19 as a “Black Swan” event
Daniel has spent his entire professional and personal career in the field of Industrial Engineers. In this episode, we explore the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, a “Black Swan” event, on the way businesses might operate post-pandemic.
We start by discussing how telephony in education and the corporate world will be embraced more readily to its becoming ubiquitous. While both Dan and myself have been working virtually long before it was cool, institutions for learning, from grade-school through university, and a great many companies that are not tech-companies, are getting a crash-course. Dan shares that the technology is not new – companies like Google, Facebook, and others have been using “vc” for “visual chat” a long time. And the benefits for time, efficiency, and effectiveness which, while known by some, will be more readily embraced by all – mostly because they discover how it can be an accelerant for achieving objectives.
