Digital transformation in the wake of a crisis: focus on people

Some technologies came of age during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic. Millions of people were forced into homeworking for the first time. Unable to see each other face to face, families worldwide had to quickly master Skype, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and a host of other connecting technologies. Zoom’s daily users mushroomed to more than 200 million in March 2020 from a previous maximum total of 10 million. “Zoombombing” became a phenomenon.

Ricardo Vargas, who lives in Portugal, speaks about social isolation

It is all so unexpected that it is impossible to find in newspapers, magazines, websites or technical publications from a few months ago reports or articles with indications of what was to come so dramatically. Like any citizen in the world, here in Portugal or in Brazil, I suffer the effects of this pandemic. The biggest one occurred in the events that I participate around the world. It was a huge impact: in less than two weeks, more than 20 were canceled. I alone had to cancel eight trips in March. This part of the job was super complex. Published at Jornal Estado de Minas

How Today’s Crisis Can Become Tomorrow’s Opportunities—at Warp Speed

With all the data, technology and connectivity that defines the world in which we currently live, how is it that almost no one saw the COVID-19 crisis coming?

There were plenty of warnings. News of a new and potentially dangerous virus in China broke late last year. As we headed into the New Year, epidemiologists and public health officials around the world waved red flags and advised governments and businesses alike to prepare.

Simple Solutions for Complex Problems

We live in an accelerated period of changes. The impact of digitization on society is being so strong that more than a time of change we are experiencing a change of time.
