On this episode I chat with Simon Cohen about how businesses are pivoting with their technology from the effects of COVID-19. We discuss how the impact of the virus will possibly change our workplace and working behaviour forever and what the impact on productivity and culture will have as we transition to and from work from home.
We discuss ways in which we can service clients better with Technology during the crisis and how to prevent possible security threats. Along with having the right balance in tech strategy and improving cost efficiencies.
