Post CoVid-19: The new normal

The doom and gloom is very much alive and likely won’t end for weeks at best. Like much of the rest of the world, I am paying close attention to the news and other sources of daily doom. I am not however paying attention to contribute to the panic, but rather to find opportunities in our post quarantine world.

Every crisis in the world has always doubled as an incubator for innovation. We don’t have to look far for great examples. Possibly the most famous company bred out of a crisis in recent memory? GroupOn which started as a deal site in the post financial crisis recession.

Once we get through this terrible situation, we’ll all be left adjusting to life post CoVid-19. Life outside this world of self-quarantine will largely go back to normal, but there will be differences and changes in everyday life, hopefully for the better of humans and this planet. This will be the new normal.

Those that are watching and thinking will be able to see the trends before they are here. For those that have been paying attention, the trends are forming already.

What we don’t know is also what I am excited about. How will entrepreneurs and companies adjust and innovate based on these new trends?

Not everything that comes out of this global crisis will be bad. There will be innovation and quality of life will get better for many. It’s out there for the taking, we just have to be bold enough to see these opportunities in the midst of a crisis.
