BACKGROUND:
The direct impact of COVID-19 has been severe and far reaching. As we continue to grapple with the pandemic, the broader indirect impact of the coronavirus is becoming more pronounced:
- Underlying social tensions are becoming inflamed leading to increased instances of civil unrest
- Existing trends such as Black Lives Matter are being exacerbated by the virus and feeling of discontent
- Actors are capitalising on the distraction to enact radical change
- Geo-political relations are becoming strained
- The race to find a vaccine has taken on a nationalistic edge
Join us on 8th October, as we discuss the indirect impact of COVID-19. Gain insights into how organisations can mitigate the effect on their assets, people and revenue streams in 2020 and beyond.
This session will draw on a number of current and past examples of major events. There will be a Q&A to provide for an interactive and engaging session.
