Navigating COVID-19
COVID-19 has disrupted ‘business as usual’ with enormous human and economic cost. It has highlighted weaknesses in our current way of doing business, along with possible solutions. It has highlighted the power of technology as well as issues, potential misuses and what’s needed to mitigate risks. We’re helping business leaders, entrepreneurs and investors think through these issues, to create a more ethical, responsible and sustainable way of doing business going forward.
Inspirational Response to COVID-19
COVID-19 is having a devastating impact on lives and economies. The crisis has also brought with it some truly inspiring examples of leadership and good business practices. We had a conversation with Winston Zahra, the CEO of GG Hospitality who, on 22nd March, closed their hotels and offered their rooms, free of charge, to the NHS. It’s a conversation worth listening to.
Navigating the New Normal
Are there lessons we can learn from China post-SARS? How do we reboot our economies in a more sustainable way? These are some of the questions we pose to Dr Marcus Schütz who, among other things, was responsible for the restructuring and turnaround of Shanghai Volkswagen in post-SARS China. He also shares perspectives on the issues we face as we rethink and reboot our economies. Full bio here.
COVID-19: the use of data & technology
COVID-19 is a pressing issue facing humanity. Against that backdrop, we wanted to explore the appropriate use of data and technology. To do that, we had a conversation with Ali Farzanehfar – a final year PhD student at Imperial College London. Ali’s research and interests are currently split between issues in data privacy and the impact of AI on industry. Full bio here.
Is FOMO driving your decisions?
Remember Theranos? We flagged it as a no-go a year before the scandal. The bottom line – if a company is getting lots of press coverage, receiving accolades or awards, and raising significant capital, it does not necessarily mean it’s a company worth backing.
Rethinking Entrepreneurial Success
We often hear ‘it’s a great company, they’ve raised $x’. This is wrong, as witnessed in recent disasters (e.g. WeWork, Uber and Theranos). We peeled back the layers on venture investing for Entrepreneur Middle East and what we should be looking at.
