What are the main challenges posed by the pandemic?

The COVID-19 outbreak is a black swan event of a kind never seen before in its trifold impact on demand, supply and markets. There are different challenges faced in order to stay relevant in the industry, viz:

  • Understanding the need of the consumers specially during pandemic
  • Studying customers even when they are not dealing with you, and then using those insights to personalise and deliver what they want in a way that is multichannel, scalable and evolving.
  • Having a mature digital and data strategy to stay relevant in the industry.

In the face of unpredictable, dramatic events, businesses need strong business models enabled by a robust digital backbone, and processes that can pivot rapidly. This is the time to be forward-thinking and experimental with customers needs first and foremost to stay efficient and effective. Consumers are no longer expecting only the experience they were offered before, instead they have developed much higher digital expectations.
