Nicolas Babin disruptive week about digital transformation – June 15th 2020

I am regularly asked to summarize my many posts. I thought it would be a good idea to publish on this blog, every Monday, some of the most relevant articles that I have already shared with you on my social networks.
Today I will share some of the most relevant articles about Digital Transformation and in what form you can find it in today’s life. I will also comment on the articles.

Local newspapers are dying. Here’s how we can save them. The causes of the disruption are many: changing reader habits; the migration of classified advertising to Craigslist and other internet services; the dominance Google and Facebook built over online advertising; and, not least, the slowness of legacy media organizations in adapting to the digital transformation in the production, consumption and distribution of news.

Covid-19 has ushered in a new global dynamic. In just days, a booming economy, crowded freeways and well-stocked grocery stores became an eerie collection of empty offices, deserted freeways and barren store shelves. If they were lucky, workers were given a few days’ notice that they would need to move from their traditional workplace setting to shelter-in-place conditions at home. In some of the worst cases, employees were told to take everything home immediately because the office would be closed by the end of the day. Either way, we have learned a lot moving through this abrupt shift in work setups. These early lessons are significant because as experts warn us, this winter could see a resurgence of COVID-19 with a repeat of mandated shelter-in-place conditions. These five lessons can provide the basis of a comprehensive checklist for future preparations. Have a read, quite interesting.
