Timely and practical, this book helps understand how businesses survive a downturn and emerge stronger once the recovery begins What is the secret sauce of the company that innovated and launched more than 40 products in the first six months of the pandemic? How did a home services company train its contractual workforce to keep the highest safety standards when they visited the customer’s home? How did a stock broking company scale its technology to handle its highest single-day trading? How did a famous fashion designer generate employment in the times when many of his peers were laying off their artisans? How did real estate move to a virtual world? How did an internet provider afford to maintain continuity for the thousands working from home?
