In episode 6 of The "New Normal" podcast series, Professor Saku Mantere from The Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University, and Editor-in-Chief of Delve, discusses how organizations have responded and adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic: whether universities, governments, or businesses, many responded to the crisis by adapting quickly and performing beyond expectations.

Professor Mantere also addresses the effects of Zoom – and the lack of physical classrooms and workspaces – on organizations, innovation processes, and the future of work in an even more rapidly changing world.
