The pandemic has challenged small- and medium-sized businesses (SMB) in numerous ways, including the need to ensure employee safety, facilitate remote work, and deal with shifting demands and expectations from customers and employees.

Other obstacles—employee burnout, labor shortages, and economic uncertainties—have also emerged, leaving SMB leadership and employees somewhat dazed and confused.

The pandemic has prompted these businesses to rethink how they operate and what they prioritize.

SMBs recognize that to thrive, they must become more resilient and agile, and that they must devise longer-term strategies and align their priorities with their investment.

Among 300 SMB executives surveyed by HBR-AS, 71% have already made changes as a result of the pandemic to ensure they can better respond to future business disruptions.

Alex Clemente (LinkedIn profile) will share insights from this HBR-AS survey about challenges SMBs face and actions SMBs are taking.

He will then discuss with Michael Mendenhall (LinkedIn profile), SVP and Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at TriNet, & Todd Pruzan (LinkedIn profile) Senior Editor of Research and Special Projects, Harvard Business Review what SMBs must do to become more resilient.

Including:

• What allowed some SMBs to adapt to the pandemic’s challenges better than others
• How expectations are shifting for customers and employees
• What is means to cultivate a strategy of resilience and how to do it
• How SMBs are building their workforce for the future
• The need to focus efficiency enablers and streamline day-to-day operations

Like any large-scale strategic initiative, the success of cost optimization efforts hinges on effective strategy communications.

Given the general sensitivity associated with reducing costs and the added complexity of cross-enterprise workstreams, business leaders need the strategy team’s expertise to facilitate adoption of cost targets and build a shared understanding of cost optimization goals.

CIOs continue to experience cost pressures due to their geography or global pressures, making it difficult for them to help the enterprise achieve its objectives while sustaining the IT organization.

Join James Michael Anderson (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director Analyst, to learn how to build and communicate a cost optimization strategy using the discussed insights to develop and sustain cost optimization efforts.

You will walk away from this session with answers to your vital questions, a copy of the research slides and recommended actions to help you achieve your goals.

• Brainstorm and prioritize cost optimization ideas
• Develop a cost communication roadmap
• Communicate the impact of cost optimization efforts and decisions

While companies’ shift to the cloud has been gradual over the last decade, recent research from Accenture shows that the pandemic has accelerated that move.

In 2020, companies of all kinds quickly learned that they had to depend on cloud technologies to enable entire staffs to work from home, ramp up digital commerce, and provide telehealth, entertainment streaming, and more.

But despite the enthusiasm for what cloud can do, only 37% of leaders said they had fully achieved the outcomes they expected from their cloud initiatives.

Cloud experts Karthik Narain (LinkedIn profile) and Jim Wilson (LinkedIn profile), will lead a live HBR webinar highlighting five key questions that business leaders need to ask as they consider cloud adoption:

• How does shifting work to the cloud make it possible to reimagine my business?
• How do I make the right cloud choices for my organization?
• In switching to the cloud, do I have to get rid of my legacy infrastructure?
• Do we have the skills to take advantage of the cloud?
• Can I really trust my data in the cloud?

Cloud is too important to a business’s fundamental competitiveness to be treated as an IT program. It’s about creating a platform for the efficiency, innovation, and growth that will determine the future success of the business.

That is why it is vital for CEOs to become intimately involved in their organizations’ cloud decisions and journeys.

Join Karthik & Jim, and HBR  to learn more about how your organization can use the cloud to achieve your goals.
