COVID19 Pivot Live Session – 4 Speakers Panel – 7 Mins Each

How COVID-19 put us back in the box

And forced us to think in new ways about problem solving, unlearning and relearning

Panellists: Mario Castagnetta, Janet Yung, Caleb Low and Boon Seong

In 2020, we have all been forced to pivot for survival and success. We’ve faced many unknowns and self-doubt has been our lingering company. We’ve experienced a nearly instantaneous economic slowdown, which was triggered by the pandemic shutdown, and it’s wreaked havoc on businesses, large and small.

The recipe for survival requires a thorough rethink and transformation of all we have done in the past, or we risk falling further behind or potentially, going out of business full-stop. But the reality of how entrepreneurs are dealing with the crisis and preparing for the recovery tells a different story. It’s a story of pivoting business models more conducive to short-term survival, along with long-term resilience, planning and growth.

This panel discussion will throw the light on:

How the COVID19 crisis has forced business owners to rethink everything, from management to business structure and revenue models
How pivoting taught crucial key lessons in leveraging your community and capabilities, moving quickly and maximizing teamwork, partnerships, as well as collaborating effectively
The transformation of how businesses run during COVID times and how leaders must lead
