The switch to remote working<\/a> tested many companies’ disaster recovery and business continuity provisions.<\/p>\n

Despite the warnings in late December and early January, the requirement to work from home still came as something of a shock to many of us. It showed us the strengths and weaknesses of our contingency plans. We’ve seen inspirational stories coming from all kinds of people and sectors \u2013 but one of the most useful lessons I took came from the channel partners I work with on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

I recently came across a book titled \u2018Monkey Traps: Why Everybody Tries to Control Everything and How We Can Stop<\/a>\u2019. In short, the book focuses on the human nature to attempt to continuously seek control in scenarios in which we have none. I soon realised this analogy was very apt for the current global scenario we are facing in a business environment surrounded by uncertainty \u2013 at present we have limited control and instead of fighting this, we should seek to analyse and assess what areas of business we can currently control and impact positively.<\/p>\n
