Business strategies for a post-coronavirus world. As a physician by first training and a Futurist advisor / keynote speaker on industry trends and strategy to over 400 of the world's largest 2000 companies, with a proven track record of longer term forecasting over the last 25+ years, here are some guiding principles to business life beyond Coronavirus / COVID-19. Global Crisis will accelerate pre-existing business trends Most mega trends described in my books, including The Future of Almost Everything, will continue to shape the world as before, but the Coronavirus pandemic will bring forward the timings of many key events in many industries. Examples:
Airlines will consolidate more rapidly in Europe because of COVID-19, following US picture over the last decade. Larger airlines will be most likely to be rescued by government. Borderline-non-viable airlines will be allowed to fold. Physical retail will lose out even more to online shoppers, with big jump in online sales which will only partially reverse after the pandemic has ended. Many Shopping Malls will struggle to re-open in developed nations. Even faster growth of virtual working and virtual teams. Faster introduction of virtual learning into college education, MBAs, Business Schools and High Schools etc.
Here is more on Coronavirus / COVID-19 impact on business strategies for travel, transport, retail, leisure spending, entertainment, manufacturing, logistics and supply chains, banking, payments, health care, pharma research, energy and green tech etc.

Future Health Care and Pharma Keynote Speaker
I warned repeatedly over the last 22 years in several books, at large numbers of corporate events and in many global media broadcasts, about global threats from new mutant viruses, which we see emerging somewhere in the world once every 12 months on average.
As I often say to corporations: the world can change faster than you can hold a board meeting (and I don't just mean threats from viral pandemics). The days of depending on only one Strategy are over. Every company needs Plan B, C, D and E as well, and to be AGILE in leadership, able to respond very rapidly to major events in our hyper-connected world.
Read more: I warned of viral pandemics like COVID in 1998 and 2015 (books), and in hundreds of health care keynotes for multinationals, health agencies, governments. I always say: "The world can change faster than you can call a board meeting - need for Agility".
