Future of Business, my catch up with Adam Schwab

I caught up online with Adam last week and asked him to share his views on the future of business post Covid-19. This is what he had to say.

Future of business post Covid-19

Like most entrepreneurs, I’m a paranoid optimist, so I like to think things will get back ‘normal’, albeit normal is likely to be a different to what we’re used to.

Working from Home

The notion of working from home becoming standard for everyone doesn’t make a huge amount of sense. For some people, working from home is ideal – if you’ve got a role which doesn’t need significant collaboration and you’ve got a very significant travel time, the ability to work from home for 2-3 days a week is a massive benefit to efficiency (and general happiness levels).

My personal view is no one should from home all the time. Spending a couple of days a week with colleagues in the office (if possible) is a great middle ground, even for people with jobs that don’t require lots of close contact. The exception to that is parents with small kids, in that case, the efficiency gained can be outweighed by the time needed to care and educate the children.

How do you run your business?

Every business is different but the most critical aspect to dealing with COVID19 is cashflow and making sure you have enough runway. Even the biggest businesses need to be preparing for the worst (but hoping for the best).

Several start-ups I work with have raised capital at much lower valuations than they would have done a few months ago, but ultimately, survival is far more important than hyper growth at the moment.

That said, it’s also important not to spend every waking hour worrying about survival – build your runway and then start focusing on accelerating out of the turn. Now is the perfect time to be building great products and getting your customer focus laser sharp for when demand eventually returns.

Why hindsight is 2020

This Great Realisation by Tomos Roberts really caught our attention.

Tomos Roberts – aka Tom Foolery offers an insight into “after the coronavirus pandemic” A New Zealand-born poet’s bedtime fairytale video, The Great Realisation

The video, titled “The Great Realisation,” was uploaded to YouTube by British artist and poet “Probably Tomfoolery” on April 29. It depicts a father reading his child a bedtime story, however, this tall tale is not quite Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

The father opens up the book and describes to his child the world before coronavirus, including severe economic inequality and irrepressible damage to the world’s oceans.

“Well sometimes, you’ve got to get sick my boy, before you start feeling better.”

“It was a world of waste and wonder. Of poverty and plenty. Back before we understood why hindsight is 2020,” says the father to his child.

“We’d grown so used to bad news but some good news was in the making,” the father adds.

However, just as the story grows grim, the father pivots to talk about a virus, and its impact onto society. He notes that we now have reverted back to a better understanding of what brings us joy, and how we can not only heal ourselves, but also heal the world around us.

This has viewers all thinking about the future and impact they have on the world and is making the rounds on YouTube and social media.

The video garnered over 600,000 views on YouTube as of Saturday morning. On Facebook, the video has been viewed by 8.1 million people, and has been shared almost 300,000 times.

This video illustrates renewed future post-coronavirus, let’s us all hope this is a great awakening to what is important?
