The sudden up-rise of COVID-19 pandemic has put many a plans on hold. It started in China and before we could realize, it spread so fast across the globe that most countries (who valued life more than anything else) decided to go into a lock-down. This caused the growth to come to a grinding halt and economy took a hard hit. Many industries in the manufacturing sector had to close doors and stop work completely. But then, is everything going from bad to worse? Probably no! The experts say every problem is an opportunity in disguise.
When the road ahead is blocked, it is time to look back, time to build a bridge or take a jump above the block to keep moving ahead. It is time to see what can be done better or what can be done differently. Review the policies and identify how to emerge stronger post the lock-down. This situation can be better explained through the story of the woodcutter. With a fresh axe, the woodcutter was able to chop trees at ease. As the targets increased and the blade lost its sheen, the woodcutter struggled. He toiled harder and slept less. Stress increased and so did health issues. Yet, what he kept missing was sharpening the blade. Is this lock-down the opportunity to sharpen the blade?
In terms of business, the sharpening of an axe is identifying areas of process improvement and automation. When a business is set and work is in full flow, there is a rare attempt in improving processes. Even after finding the improvement, there are challenges in implementing the change. It is easier to start afresh than to implement a change. Now that most of the task force is at rest, business stands a chance to look at processes and implement automation.
