Insights about how to anticipate the after covid 19

SynapsesQuali – April 2020 1
ANTICIPATE THE “AFTER COVID 19”
& BE PREPARED

APPROACH
Interviews & brainstorming
with experts & professionals
in Psychology, Sociology,
Economy, Healthcare
Web services, Public &
Private sectors
“Rule of the game” =
Consider the 2 hypothetic
scenarios as possible after
covid-19
and define together the
consequences for human
beings and expected
attitude – initiatives from
brands and companies

Future will be probably a mix of both
scenarios but it helps for this
brainstorming to work with extreme
caricatures

Both ways of behaving, thinking and their respective needs will be probably present
among your customers,
your employees,
your stakeholders
Including those coming back to their routines and “doing as usual”
We can help you to:
Translate these changes in your own sector – activity
To train your management about how detect these signals – behaviors
And how to adopt the right attitude

But above all,
ideally don’t wait the after

Act from now
With initiatives aligned with
current needs
Especially if you are in - or -
close the “essential” sectors

your employees, stakeholders
 Organize fundraising for the current heroes

of web security, confidentiality and control

 Share skills and means for the most impacted
sectors (health but also cultural, education,
