Raizor's EdgeThe Pivot DebateThe word “pivot” has been one of the most widely used – and perhaps abused – business words during the COVID-19 pandemic. Everyone these days seems to be “pivoting”. But are they really pivoting or are they just starting again?
Episode three of our #DeepDive series unpacks whether businesses should be pivoting, starting again or continuing their current businesses with minor modifications.
