The indirect impact of COVID-19 and how a crisis affects people, organisations and nation-states
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.
