Salesforce COVID-19 Scenarios v8 (August '20)

(To jump to a specific topic, see below. For a more detailed version of the slides, see: http://bit.ly/covidscenarios_v8_slides)

Regain confidence in spite of today's unprecedented uncertainty with the latest Salesforce COVID Scenarios, created by renowned futurist Peter Schwartz and his team -- Mick Costigan, Noah Flower, and Angela Gleason.

COVID has thrust all of us into a realm where our carefully honed expertise and judgment suddenly feels inadequate, and we've all had to make choices in the past six months in fear of landing ourselves and our organizations in dire straits. We can’t run away, but the problem feels too vast to understand. What if you had a reliable map to help you navigate with confidence?

Our scenarios offer exactly that: we break down the crisis into three time periods, three uncertainties, three ways to control the virus, and three tensions to manage, all of which lead to three scenarios that might come about in your country or region.

By using these scenarios as your guide you can quickly grasp the realistic prospects and move quickly back into doing what you do best: pursuing opportunity. There is a “next normal” already coming into view on the other side of this storm, and if you keep it in your sights, you can be one of the ones who not only arrives but thrives.
