COVID-19 has disrupted our usual way of life and doing business and has caused devastating impact. This crisis calls for businesses to respond quickly to either solve the newly created problems or prepare us for the world post-pandemic. The crisis has also created a window of opportunity to solve systemic problems that have had no urgency for resolution.
