Hi everyone,

Many members have continued to work as essential businesses through Level 4, others of you will be considering re-opening when we move to Level 3 at 11.59pm on Monday 27th. Before work begins again you need to develop a plan for working safely. Worksafe have developed a template to help you with your planning: Your COVID-19 Safety Plan.
 
Full information about the Alert Levels is available HERE
 
NZTE has put together market updates, a collection of webinars and published many useful tools and articles on their COVID-19 Pages, not just for exporters.
 
 
One of those articles, from McKinsey, looks at 4 consumer trends they see enduring beyond the current crisis and goes on to propose establishing a Plan-Ahead Team to work through 5 frames to Prepare for the Next Normal.
“Strengthen your purpose orientation
A company’s actions during times of crisis are written into its history and make a lasting impression on consumers. To lead with purpose, understand your stakeholders’ needs and review the trade-offs in addressing them. Think about how to bring your greatest strength or “superpower” to bear, perhaps more creatively than before.”
What’s your Superpower?
 
 
 
And finally, some inspiration from our very own superhero – Summit MC, Jamie Fitzgerald:
Here’s a story from my Antarctic expedition relevant to preparing for Level 3 and perhaps reframing your definition of success and how you will create the future. Four lessons throughout, plus a reminder about the funded COVID-19 support we’re providing.
 
 
Stay well everyone,
Kerry
