The New Reality: Adapting Business Models To Build Resilience

by Dirk Beveridge & Ranga Bodla

About this episode:

In today’s episode, Dirk talks with Ranga Bodla, Vice President Field Engagement and Marketing, with NetSuite.

When COVID released itself upon the world, businesses had to pivot immediately.  Processes, business models, and technology that were working up to this point were no longer sufficient.  Now is a time of forced experimentation where businesses have the imperative and the opportunity to explore and to innovate.  Everything tried won’t work but others will endure and provide an opportunity to enact the value delivered over time.

Among the topics explored by Dirk and Ranga:

  • The power of exploring best practices outside your industry
  • How business models have and are evolving due to the pandemic
  • How cloud-based solutions enable the ability to pivot
  • How distributors are enhancing their remote selling capabilities
  • The stairway approach to digital transformation
