It’s not just next year we need to think about. Consider how a student could get their entire degree under these conditions.

Your virtual tour is not your top priority if the physical campus may not be core to the experience for the next few years. Yes, years.

The world record time for vaccine development to deployment is 4 years (mumps is the ‘50s). Anti-virals or innovations may speed it up, but it’s years.

Your pandemic plan should go till 2025.

Not a five-year lockdown, but perhaps 5 years of dancing with this virus.

After we get through this, the economy will rebound. Maybe even before, if solid leadership and ingenuity provides pathways for millions of employees to find a new way of working.

“Unprecedented” means never before known or experienced. If these are truly unprecedented times, the old way of working isn’t the answer. Lead from your core.

Be bold. Be brave. Be prudent. Be whatever you need to be to ensure your organization exists in 2025.
