Emerging stronger from the storm

THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: How is your organisation girding for the recession? Are there any silver linings or bright spots amid the economic gloom?

Max Loh Country Managing Partner, Singapore and Brunei Ernst & Young LLP

If necessity is the mother of invention, then the need to endure through tough times must catalyse increased innovation. At EY, we are continually assessing what we, and organisations, need to do now, next and beyond the pandemic and the ensuing economic challenges. Our success has always been predicated on how well we help our clients build trust, reshape their strategy and talent and secure growth and navigate challenges. Now more than ever, it is about driving innovation at scale and technology at speed, and putting people at the centre of everything we do - and this is creating new opportunities for us to help organisations with agile business and workforce transformation so as to stay resilient and nimble. Challenging times can be distracting, but are also a great opportunity for us to renew our focus on our purpose of building a better working world.
