Post-Pandemic Rebuilding Process
Since the pandemic, the world as we see it will never be the same. Now post pandemic hard lockdown we are now forced into a new way of thinking, we have to plan differently and look at new opportunities and to rebuild your business after the shutdown. The old way of doing things can no longer keep your business a going concern.
Some of us are still reeling from the lockdown and have not yet seen the full extent of the damage to our business or have not done the research to see what effects the lockdown has done to the operation.
This then becomes a critical moment in the business where thought leadership needs to shine and to come up with genuine ideas to steer the business out of its current state it is in due to the pandemic.
This is especially true for South African manufacturing industries where businesses have had to defend on many fronts and not just the pandemic.
