“Post-pandemic realities have provided us with the opportunity to contemplate new labour force strategies, WFH cost impacts, and improved processes to allow us to effectively manage a more remote workforce. How might all of these considerations impact your bottom line, as well as the competitiveness and resilience of your company?”

In this paper, Varghese Daniel and Shayne Smith present an argument for engineering organisations to immediately adopt radical transformative strategies, as a way of surviving and thriving in the post-pandemic world. They stipulate that this is not a time for caution, because such a transition was already in progress, that this transition should be accelerated, not tempered, and they lay out a series of steps to nudge companies further along that path.
