Author’s Note: To inaugurate BizComics 360˚ we’re going to start with a two-part series on doing business in and after the coronavirus pandemic. As L.P. Hartley wrote in his novel, The Go-Between, “The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.” Accordingly, we do things differently here. In this series, we’ll point out some of those things.
We’re rapidly approaching the PC world. No. Not personal computer. And certainly not politically correct. Good grief. That version of PC has pretty much put comedy, humor, tolerance, and patience out of business. The PC we’re talking about here is Post Coronavirus.
We don’t need to know what the PC world will look like. We just have to accept the fact that it’ll be different. Marketing and sales will be different. Hiring and retaining people will be different. Compensation packages will be different. Leadership and management will be different. In fact, the nature of all of our interactions will be different.
There are a few things to keep in mind in this video. If it makes you smile, don’t worry:
Maybe we’ll have more fun in the PC world. That would be really different.
Great job Mark. I have organizations tell me almost daily. “I just want things to go back to normal.” Well that’s not going to happen. New normal, new processes, new strategies and new cultures must be created (and it is about time if I may add a personal opinion). You hit the nail on the head. Thanks for sharing.
Love it, guys! What a fun way to make this point… and I absolutely love the music choice.
Nice! What’s the old saying… laughter is truly the best medicine! Thank you for the chuckles, Mark!
I believe (more than anything I hope!) that in the emergency we were able to observe a dynamic, vital nature, which has recaptured urban spaces, we had time to think, to rediscover what surrounds us and reflect on the relationship between man and nature and that, therefore, a new, more conscious balance between human beings and nature will be possible.
Very cool Mark! Everything is different. Restructuring on an international scale.
Not only is the marketing and management, but the consumer shift on what services are in demand.
A little comic relief goes a long way!
Thanks for this!
Thank you, Paula. This helps me fulfill my Rule #1: If we’re not having fun, we’re doing it wrong. I’m so happy you enjoyed it.
Nice approach; let’s what the future holds in its bosom! I believe ‘being nice’ has reached the cescendo of a new paradigm. The oncoming changes will surely dictate human behavior big time, whereas animals would find their much deserved space, no matter what.
My sense, Bharat, is that Nature has stepped up its level of insistence. It’s as if we’re being reminded that Nature is still in charge. And if we don’t wake up, step up, and move up the evolutionary ladder, the consequences of missing this opportunity will be dire, indeed.
Thank you for joining the conversation.
