In the face of the pandemic, every aspect of human life has had to be rethought in one way or another: how we live, how we learn, how we work, how we shop, and how we move. Countries, companies and individuals in the working world have had to go through a transformation—a collective Apollo 13 period that has stretched over a year—to rethink, to restructure and to retool. We are now tiptoeing our way into a new normal—or as the Chairman of Moderna puts it, into a new abnormal. Innovation will not anymore be an important exercise, but rather an approach to life. Fortunately, we have learned much about innovation over the last 20 years with the growth of new technologies, new business models and new approaches to continuous, dynamic shape-shifting transformation to stay abreast of the times.
