GCs: relaunch, don't cut, your law department cum-COVID-19 - a podcast by Ciarán Fenton

Everyone is talking about post-COVID. This is wishful thinking. There will be no post-COVID. Ever. Vaccine or no vaccine. As one client put it: it will be forever "cum-COVID", not post. We will live with this pandemic and its impact for the foreseeable future.

As after World War II, nothing will be the same again. Only worse. At least during that war the foe was in plain sight and the pubs were open.

COVID-19 has changed everything. All the assumptions in your organisation's target operating model are now up for questioning.

• How, will your customers' needs have changed? For they surely will.


• How therefore will your strategic resources required to meet those changing needs, in turn, need to change, especially your people? And how will these have changed, irrespective of changes in your customers' needs?


• How, therefore, will you alter your strategic processes to apply your resources to your customers' new demands?
