It will require a lot of tech to re-adjust now

It will help lay new foundations for businesses and societies post-pandemic.
As countries start to think about what work looks like post the pandemic, we can look at what this means for businesses. While every industry and business is different, there are several commonalities that present themselves to organizations of all sizes.

Let’s treat ‘digital workers’ as peers

Work models are changing in front of us in real-time, and not just in remote ways

For decades, tech advances have changed the way we work, and organisations have adapted. So, why is this time different?

Organisations shouldn’t turn a blind eye to soft skills

Tech has enabled such skillsets to be bolstered through immersive learning and the like.
Disruptive technologies like AR/VR and artificial intelligence have forced organizations into automating operations. This calls for employees to look beyond their traditional skills – those that has been taken over by AI – and improve upon their soft skills.

Artificial intelligence will make Indian businesses smarter

The adoption of tech innovations such as AI, ML, IoT and analytics across sectors has helped organisations scale up their efficiency rate.
India’s largest bank, State Bank of India, faces a unique challenge — it receives 2,000-3,000 applications daily for every job vacancy it wants to fill. These forms pile up rapidly, and the bank regularly deals with the daunting task of sifting through nearly half a million applications, looking for the best of the lot.

Clearly, global supply chains need a TWEAK!

Data and some advanced analytics can make those improvements happen.
Big data has become a key differentiator in the ever more complex world of supply chain management. As the pandemic has shown, supply chains are particularly vulnerable to shocks.

Technologies That Keep Your Health System HIPAA Compliant

In the past five years, HHS’ Office of Civil Rights (OCR) has increased enforcement of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) violations, according to the HIPAA Journal. In 2015, there were only six HIPAA penalties, compared with 11 in 2018. Not only have enforcements increased, but fines and settlement amounts are also on the rise. In 2018, more than $28 million in penalties was paid to OCR. The mean penalty amount for 2018 was $2.6 million. Anthem settled for $16 million for failure to respond to breaches that had occurred since 2015 and for lacking technical controls to prevent unauthorized electronic personal health information (PHI) access.

3 Signs Your Startup Might Die …. taken from Startups that Actually did DIE!

Do any of these ring a bell? It might be time for your start-up to call it quits.

Blockchain traceability launching for Halal Markets

Last week it was reported that KT (formerly Korea Telecom) plans to develop a global traceability blockchain for halal food. The firm claims that the system will streamline authenticating halal products, which must be produced following Islamic law.

The telecommunications firm will join forces with B-square Lab and the Korea Muslim Federation, with plans to involve international halal verification groups. Currently, halal food is certified with logos on packaging or documentation. But these methods are susceptible to fraud since it is often more expensive to produce food in line with Islamic principles.

With 1.9 billion halal food consumers globally and a market worth $3.64 trillion, according to the Federation, there is a call for more reliable ways to certify food origin.
