E-Connection is becoming the mainstream of our business network
In the normal run of things, business people get connected through exhibition, event, referral, business platform and social media. Our business lives had been filled with endless meetings or rush to attend meetings. We used to see crowded airports and experienced flying from one city to another. Airline industry is a triumph of globalisation. Yet flights grounded and borders closed, the connections seems restricted, our business suddenly stopped.
Yet the disaster may have an upside, for many years we have been told innovation, high-tech and digital transformation are top priority in our strategies, as we all are pretty sure most of industries will be replaced with AI. The Coronavirus has accelerated the transformation. However, growing business and endless busy routine have allowed us to resist changes that could benefit sustainability in long-run. They may not be able to do so far much longer
Business communities, until now most of them have resisted adjusting and incorporating e-connections as the main connection tool, now change is being force upon them. Some of CEO and Entrepreneurs have benefits from e-connections including webinars, online-meetups and virtual B2B meetings. Normally businesses are coming from existing business and new business, and new business has to come from new e-connection.
Covid-19 is catalysing innovation and offline events are booming now, for example, from 20th of March 20 to 31st of August, CEO Clubs have hosted 30 webinars and 10 online meetups. Many members are getting quality leads and growing business with us. There is a huge scope for using digital technology, AI, Big Data as well as 5G to improve business connections. Physical events could be replaced with online events with best speakers and best audiences from domestic and abroad, freeing-up time for innovative strategies planning and business development
Offline events are rightly proud of their legacy and traditions, but their ancient pedigrees have too often been used as an excuse for resisting change. If Covid-19 shakes them out of their complacency, some good may yet come from this disaster. It is a matter of fast action, e-connection and applying technologies

4 年For me the danger is that we will no longer take enough care. More and more I see people who have dressed down, ate more, drank more on webinars. We’ve become a society that accepts less and it’s okay to do whatever. I have always worked from home. I looked after my children including a child of determination but I would never have allowed myself to become unprofessional because of that. It’s very disconcerting for me.
