Covid 19

The Problem

In normal times, businesses go through momentum cycles as they develop. These include growth, stagnation, decline, and then further growth and so on. The COVID crisis has had some unforeseen consequences for businesses and their usual growth cycles. Some businesses have been completely halted and others have been unable to keep up with demand. Most have had to deal with a momentum shift of some nature.

The Session

The session will look at the principles of momentum establishment and maintenance through crisis and how they apply to SMEs and start-ups. It will be specifically customised to the ArcLabs community. A brief survey of attendees' experiences of momentum maintenance during COVID lockdown will ensure that issues that are unique to the ArcLabs community are addressed in the session.
