So far, air travel has almost ground to a halt, global markets are experiencing upheavals, public facilities have become stretched, and to top it all off, the ongoing geopolitical tension is creating a new dimension of uncertainty.

The situation is so bad that it would be easy to throw in the towel and call it quits. But it is not the nature of human beings to simply give up. Throughout history, humans have risen against adversity and overcome wars, pandemics, and other disasters, because we know we have the power to determine the outcome of a crisis by our responses.  

There is no doubt that COVID-19 is a global game-changer which will be a part of our lives for a long time to come. It will establish a “new normal” and change the world. 

In our latest series, “The New Normal – Challenges & Opportunities”, we embrace our role as a responsible business school to shape and reinforce the understanding of what the new business landscape and the new world will look like. We also discuss the best ways to approach this new world. 

In this edition, we are honored to talk to distinguished business and political leaders who share their thoughts on what they think the new normal will look like, and how they have coped with the changes so far.
