— To quote Ross from Friends, Pivot.

As we’re now so familiar with on-demand, that we expect it to be at least an option for everything from electric razors to electric cars, businesses can only make it work if they can make it seamless.
Deliveroo for instance, blazed the trail for on-demand groceries by teaming up with supermarkets not just restaurants to deliver safety and convenience to it’s shoppers.
Even in manufacturing, the benefits of cooperation became clear in the early days of the crisis when carmakers like Ford, General Motors and Jaguar Land Rover struck deals with global healthcare partners, which meant repurposing their plants for mask and ventilator productionat scale.
Such unlikely alliances are simultaneously optimising precious real estate and revolutionising the ways businesses streamline supply to meet demand, are paving the way for more global partnerships.
So what’s the angle?
Is there a partner who can help you deliver better food to more customers? Is there an automated process that can help reduce wasted time, money, and resources in your supply chain? Is there an existing process of your own that can help you pivot to service an emerging industry?
If we are collectively smarter about how, where, and why our business is done, are investing in the right digital ecosystem, we can be responsive to the only universal constant: change. This isn’t just about airy-fairy collborative box ticking, business and organisations that are culturally built to think in weeks, not years, are set-up to do more before someone else gets there first.
