Markovitz Consulting

The unprecedented technical, logistical, and financial stresses placed on organizations today make the coronavirus crisis a crucible for an organization’s commitment to its values.

And clearly, the stress is exponentially worse for companies in industries like travel and leisure that aren’t thriving in the current environment.

Johanna Rothman

I've had the pleasure—and displeasure—of many remote meetings over the past few weeks. The difficult meetings had a common root cause: the meeting leaders attempted to do a direct transfer of how they lead an in-person meeting to remote/WFH meetings.
