Necessity is the mother of invention

necessity

I can’t think of another time in modern history when we so strongly questioned what was a necessity. Apparently toilet paper tops that list.

From essential work to essential workplaces, classrooms and offices, we are witnessing a sea change in work and study. Virtual classrooms have supplanted the schoolroom and even a worldwide pandemic can’t stop your boss from wasting a day in meaningless meetings thanks to the wonder of Zoom. So where do we go from here?

Are there parts of your business or a passion project that just don’t work remotely? Can you pivot? Can you improvise? Can you create?

We will come out of this and on the other side will be a Brave New World. How will you approach it?

    “As you grow up, always tell the truth, do no harm to others, and don't think you are the most important being on earth. Rich or poor, you then can look anyone in the eye and say, 'I'm probably no better than you, but I'm certainly your equal.” -Harper Lee
