The Risks - Know Them - Avoid Them
- What liabilities do businesses have as they
reopen?
- What are the moral responsibilities?
- How will staff be impacted if illness returns?
- What would be such an impact to owners and
leaders?
Why can’t we just reengage and go with the attitude that some will get sick?
COVID-19 Outbreak in a Call Center
Outbreak Associated with Air Conditioning
How Can I.T. Help?
Technology Access – A Paradigm Shift
- Historically, the physical office has dictated how I.T. was
designed.
- Company LOB applications often setup to work only in the
- ffice or with a limited function when remote.
- Businesses in March experienced a “shotgun wedding” of
being forced into Teleworking as a PRIMARY work environment.
- Businesses who could pivot did so in the easiest way
possible to keep the staff working, employed and producing.
- Collaborative Tools & Video Conferencing tools shot up in
importance.
Measure Twice / Cut Once
Reassess the technology that was used in the pivot. Determine whether and how it should be changed and then permanently integrated into the I.T. environment. Let’s ask ourselves:
- Are the tools we used before C-19 the best choices?
- Are the tools we used to execute the pivot the best choices?
- What infrastructure and technology changes will be required to
mature the “new” design?
Whose Tools Are They Anyway?
- What is the plan for staff to continue to use personal devices
(BYOD) to access company resources?
- How has the chain-of-custody of the company data
and know-how changed?
- What is the plan to ensure local documents on personal
devices are stored on the appropriate company resource?
- If BYOD is to be ended, how will the organization manage
retention of data before sanitizing devices?
- Will staff be reimbursed for home-office resources?
I.T. - Longer Term Planning
- You are living it - have you become aware of changes that
are needed?
- Can you be better prepared in the event of another
lockdown?
- Map out contingency, emergency plans and be ready NOW!
- Organizations need to implement the changes of policies and
procedures created by a remote working environment! The Devil is in the Details
