Digitalisation World -

Following on from my comment in the February issue of DW, I thought it worthwhile to spend a few moments contemplating just how much, or how little, companies (as well as individuals) can learn from the history books. Thankfully, major health scares as per the current coronavirus pandemic, are few and far between. And organisations might do well to spend a little time, after we have weathered the storm, thinking about the future, in terms of the human aspect of their business. Yes, AI and robots are, we hope, immune to illness, but humans are still a vital part of any organisation, and large scale illness is something that might just need a bit more planning for in the future. At least as part of a business continuity/disaster recovery plan, where the emphasis tends to be on the machines, not the humans.
