The New Normal: Overcoming Post-Pandemic Challenges to Survival and Growth

Even as we begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel, a number of new problems are just around the bend. Will you be able to retain your top talent from joining the great resignation? Do you have enough employees to run your business? What will the issues and delays with the global supply chain do to your customers; will they look elsewhere? If that's not enough, you still need to figure out remote work.

At EIX and familybusiness.org many of our best-read articles in 2020 and 2021 gave advice on managing through the pandemic. As we appear to emerge from it in late 2021 – albeit with fluctuating rules in place for masking and vaccinations – the landscape for startups, small businesses and family firms has changed. To meet the new challenges of the post-pandemic world, adaptability and creativity in spotting opportunities are as important as they were when we were in the throes of the crisis.
