Audience Questions and Virtual Collaboration

Spotlight Interview : Sylvia Ehrlich, President The Intrepid New Yorker with Kenneth Goodwin Jr. Senior Managing Principal & President, Jeanensis Capital Markets

The Global Path to Rebound Strategies involves Digital Transformation solutions advancing the Future State of Work and Living.

The global pandemic COVID-19 exploited gaps in supply chain, medical supplies, public healthcare, and many others. Simultaneously, it ushered in a digital transformation: Big Data, EduTech, Health/Medical Tech, FinTech, RegTech, UrbanTech/Smart Cities, Edge Computing, AI and Blockchain). This impacted the future state of work and living and requires dynamic solutions and rebound strategies going forward.

The Way Forward- The Key Questions Facing the CHRO:

What do you see happening to your business over the next 6 months?

How will your workforce needs change?

Everyone who remained working was obviously working from home. Will this model become a permanent part of your organization? Why or why not?

What has been the extent of mobility and moving talent for your business? Have these new crises affected the way you will approach this in the future?
