As we all know, right now, years are happening in weeks:
- The pandemic has accelerated the shift away from physical stores to digital shopping by about five years.
- In March, the number of Americans working from home accelerated by a decade in two weeks.
- The stock market saw 10 years’ worth of rip-down followed by a decade of recovery in six months, from March to September.
- While it will drop back, government spending this year has matched what was expected in 2045.
It’s hardly surprising, then, that so many of us are working flat out — keeping day-to-day operations afloat while also working to transform the organization — or risk being left behind.
