The business world has changed – and it’s still changing. Of course, the business environment is constantly evolving but this time it is very different.

Because it is not just business, or certain industries, that are being forced to adapt to deal with unforeseen, and, in many cases unknowable change, but the entire world.

One thing is certain, there is nothing normal about the ‘new normal’.

Nothing can be taken for granted. The way in which you source materials -possibly even your access to essential materials and components – the composition of your sales and distribution channel, logistics, manufacturing processes, the health and safety of your employees to, most importantly, your customers.

The bottom line is that companies cannot remain competitive, let alone succeed, simply by carrying on as before.

In real-world terms, that means companies cannot remain competitive,let alone succeed, simply by carrying on as before.

Companies must adapt quickly and effectively to meet new market conditions. Looking longer term, companies must be primed to evolve, and ready to respond to new and unforeseen demands.

For some companies, change, even in less confusing times, does not come easily. Some simply do not have the in-house resource or expertise. Others are uncertain of their financial situation. Even for companies that, in theory, embrace change, adapting to meet the challenges of an unknown, volatile future, is still a tough and potentially expensive endeavour.
