As a coach I often talk to people on a one-to-one basis about their role in business or in their alliances or in their career. I always see a solution for the challenges my clients face. You might wonder if I am suffering slightly from a form of “professional deformity” or if it is simply a matter of having a positive mindset? I tend to opt for the latter!

When COVID forced us all to work from home, many people discovered an unexpected benefit. We had more time in the day. The commute to the office transformed instantly from several hours of wrestling with traffic and transport to a 2-minute walk to the desk. For some, they didn’t even bother with the desk and stayed in bed with the laptop. It felt like time had suddenly been gifted to us.

To say the pandemic changed many things is an understatement. The way we work, socialise, the way we shop, and for many things, there’s no going back to ‘normal’ Given that going out to shop was a risk to our health (especially if buying toilet rolls!) have you changed the way you purchase products? Even a former staunch anti-online purchaser like Hailey has embraced the e-commerce world and found it to be, for the most part, an efficient and reliable way to shop.

When we talk about alliances, we tend to focus on the external component: collaborating with other organisations. By itself that is correct, after all alliances are collaborations between two or more organisations to accomplish a goal that one of the organisations cannot achieve on its own. So we do need external parties! However, alliances have a strong internal component as well and that is about internal collaboration, or in broader terms, it’s very much also about a company’s culture. .

Your opponents have the time to regroup in defence as they now guard each player tightly and the window to secure an advantage has closed.
