There is Never a “New Normal” In Digital — Headlines and Show Notes

If you’re anything like me, you’re getting tired of everyone talking about the “new normal” of the post-COVID world. We’re a long way from “normal” and aren’t likely to get there soon. However, the current state of dynamic change, rapidly evolving customer behaviors, and competing priorities isn’t a “new normal” for digital professionals. It’s how we’ve worked for years. We were made for this moment. That’s a good thing — and one you want to use to your advantage.

The latest episode of Thinks Out Loud looks at why there’s never a new normal in digital and how you can use that fact to benefit you and your business.
