S2 Episode 7: Advice for running a company or working in one during Covid-19 The Actionable Futurist® Podcast

    • Management

In this special edition of the Actionable Futurist® Podcast, we spoke with Dan Ziv, CEO of Touchnote, a digital company that is providing a creative way for personal communication which I think we’d all agree is needed even more during this very challenging 2020.

Dan runs a small company of 50 people, and we looked at how his company runs remotely, how he runs a company remotely and how his staff have responded to the challenges presented by the lockdown.

We also covered a range of topics relevant for employers of any size as well as employees such as:
