Pivoting, whether in a crisis or not, is a critical decision that can impact a brands success formula short and long term.

In this C-19 crisis, many brands throw ideas against the wall with the hope something will stick vs a calm, cohesive and coherent plan to find a path that continues to drive brand growth.

Pivot if you must just be sure you have a purpose, a reason, a plan and can execute against this path with a core competency your company culture can embrace. Having a Passion for what you do is a key principle to ensuring you stay on course.
