In the first of three blogs looking at COVID-19, our chairman and CEO, Keith Todd, explains why he believes the crisis will have a positive impact on society. This will be followed with the impact on business generally and then on KRM22 plc and Capital Markets risk management.
Our hearts go out to all who have been affected by the deathly impact of the COVID-19 virus. Too many have paid the ultimate price. It has however ,been energising to see how many people have ‘stepped up to the plate’ to help their fellow citizens during these trying times. I would also like to record a shout out to all those people within companies who have overnight established full operational businesses from home. It is remarkable! I do think that the branding of‘essential or key workers’ could have been better. All workers are essential or key to ensure than a society and economy can function well in times of normality and times of strife.
So why a ‘catalyst for good’? As you know, a catalyst means acceleration of the change of state. I draw your attention to core factors that will, in my view, drive change forever. The seeds of change were upon us, but the deadly bite of COVID-19 has caused a huge acceleration.
