Since the advent of digital, disruption has been the main theme in business. COVID-19 was the crescendo-like culmination of this tumultuous era, bringing business-as-usual to a standstill and forcing firms to acquire brand-new capabilities at lightning speed. What we are seeing now is the beginning of a new era of even more profound changes. Before the pandemic, new technologies were largely seen as powerful tools to help businesses play the game better. COVID-19 ripped several pages out of the rulebook, as leading innovators found ways to leverage technology that defied long-standing assumptions about what could and couldn’t be done in the virtual world and its potential impact on the physical world.
