New normal: Being tech driven in a post Covid world

In a year of lockdowns, each one of us experienced the power of technology at a fundamental level. With the world shifting enmasse to virtual, technology helped us take care of loved ones, get healthcare, access essential services, get work done and keep our businesses running. It took a pandemic to bring home the power of digital technology and the possibilities it opens up for individuals, organizations and the world at large.

This ability to adopt technology and integrate it into almost every aspect of our lives is called “Tech Intensity”. Today each one of us is more tech intense than we were a year ago. We saw how digital transformation that would have taken decades happened in the matter of a few months. From healthcare to education, to citizen services, agriculture, banking and manufacturing, every sector and industry transformed with technology at the core. In fact, the single most important trendline that the pandemic accelerated is the need for tech intensity. The way we embrace it will define who we are, what we are capable of, and how we accelerate progress.
