• WORKING FROM HOME BECOMES THE NEW NORMAL

Eva Chen, CEO at Trend Micro:

“The COVID-19 experience will . . . build our courage to adopt new patterns to fix antiquated processes. As a result, organizations will ditch the notion of having a big office and revert back to a small-town model of working in cluster offices with more remote work. Even more so, company “headquarters” will be located in the cloud, shifting how we protect enterprise data in the virtual cloud and how we secure data from more diverse endpoints.”

• THE DIGITAL MIGRATION ACCELERATES

Michael Hendrix, partner and global design director, Ideo:

“What organizations resisted for a decade is now core to survival and innovation. It is exciting, because this digital mindset will persist, and it is highly unlikely companies will try to return to what worked prior to the pandemic.”

• EDUCATION GOES VIRTUAL

Adam Enbar, CEO of Flatiron School:

“Nothing spurs innovation like people experiencing problems. When things are back to normal, Zoom and Slack usage will go down—and that’s okay. Instead, we’ll see a boom in technology that is built by entrepreneurs looking to create entirely new experiences custom to the remote education or work experience.”

• HEALTHCARE CONFRONTS SOME OLD PROBLEMS

Dr. Claire Novorol, cofounder and chief medical officer, Ada Health:

“It’s clear that we are witnessing a step-change in the adoption of digital health solutions, and that this has long-term potential. The healthcare industry will be greatly affected by the coronavirus pandemic, and we can expect digital health technologies to form an essential part of the way forward.”

• VENTURE CAPITAL HUNKERS DOWN

David Barrett, CEO and founder of Expensify:

“Rather than focusing on the quantitative aspects like funding rounds and revenue, investors will place a greater emphasis on the qualitative aspects, such as an organization’s structure, team, culture, flexibility, and profitability.”

• TRANSPORTATION REBOUNDS, AND EVOLVES

Michael Masserman, global head of policy and social impact, Lyft:

“As we look to the reopening of cities, people will be looking for affordable, reliable ways to stay socially distant while commuting, including turning to transportation options such as ride share, bike share, and scooters. There will also be an opportunity for local governments, as well as key advocates and stakeholders, to consider reshaping our cities to be built around people and not cars.”

• MANUFACTURING GETS A WAKE-UP CALL

Amar Hanspal, former CEO at Autodesk and now CEO at Bright Machines:

“This pandemic will have a lasting impact . . . on the way physical products are made. Customers I talk to are grappling with supply chain and factory disruptions across the globe. This has been a wake-up call to manufacturers. The current way of building products in centralized factories with low-cost labor halfway around the world simply can’t weather storms of uncertainty. Moving forward, factories and supply chains will require, and businesses will mandate, much more resilient manufacturing through nearshoring and even onshoring, full automation, and software-based management.”

• NEW THINKING CHANGES OLD BUSINESSES

Will Lopez, head of accountant community at HR platform Gusto:

“Many restaurants might permanently link up with delivery service platforms or expand their geographic reach via ghost kitchens, and more boutiques will develop an online presence that reaches beyond their local neighborhoods.”
