What does competitive advantage look like? Those who know “get it” and those who don’t, well this writing is for you.   The pandemic has disrupted the economy and companies are racing back to the front of the field.  Think of a major accident in a stock car race.  We have been under the caution flag for over two months.  This is a tremendous opportunity to reset the competitive field in any business sector.  This is a chance to win the race.  The harder your business has been hit, the bigger the opportunity.  I know this sounds counterintuitive, but stay with me.

Politics have ruined the objectivity of our strategy against the coronavirus.  The lines have been drawn in the sand and each side has dug in. Should we have locked down in the first place?  Should we have ordered stay at home all over the USA?  Did we do the right thing? Only history will tell us the truth.  A pandemic during an election season has blurred reality.  I have been tracking Sweden’s approach.

The intense heat from the novel coronavirus has burned the business landscape like nothing we have seen before.  Once thriving businesses are now scattered across the country in the ash of this pandemic.  We don’t hear the story of the cinema operator in rural East Texas or the travel agent in Montana.  The tour guide operator in Arkansas will never make the national news.  There are burnt corpses of business that most people will never hear or read about.  You are real none the same.  You are legitimate.  You matter!

The challenge facing many businesses is unprecedented.  We are likely to have a wholesale shift in demand for long-time institutions of the past and the present.  Some businesses, as we know them, are going to evaporate.  This virus is killing businesses with as much vigor as it has people.  Tragically, some businesses have been infected and do not realize it. The question for many business leaders, as we start to reopen the economy is, do I rebuild the business or do I reboot?  Should I rebuild as it was, presuming demand will return, or reboot to something else?

We have an echo chamber on the west coast and east coast.  Similarly, the economic response to the pandemic is now political.  If you want to reopen the economy sooner, you are more likely to be labeled as a conservative.  If you want to wait for a vaccine, you are likely to labeled as a liberal. An echo chamber creates confirmation bias.  Learn what confirmation bias is and how it will impact economic recovery from Covid-19.
