experience or other experience.
From a personal perspective, the company of which I am currently employed with have thrived
efficiently during the Covid-19 pandemic. Being sought from a 100% work from office policy, my
company’s senior management moved the relevant Information Technology (IT) support teams to
prepare an individual laptop for every individual employee with recurring Virtual Protocol Network
(VPN) connection to the company’s network. The employees were briefed that the company would
soon adopt a work from home policy due to the rise in covid cases and all of these measures were
taken months ealier before the destructive spread of Covid-19. When Covid-19 was finally
recognised as a pandemic, the employees of my company were already settled in and there were no
rush or emergency in deploying projects/tasks as all had been taken into the initial consideration.
We managed to have a successful and efficient year despite many of our competitors facing a slump
in revenue and efficiency. This was definitely due to ability of the senior management to conduct
efficient scenario planning to define the scope, while analysing the uncertainties and developing
various scenarios based from the relevant trend of the then premature Covid-19 influenza, which did
then work out to be a business strategy for my company.
