From the outset of this year and beyond, organizations across the globe have faced uncertainty -- especially manufacturers. Now, many of those same businesses must answer tough questions to mitigate COVID-19 business effects and transform business priorities in response. 

How has the COVID-19 impacted business? How can manufacturing companies evolve to survive amid today’s new normal? Are these difficulties and losses avoidable in the future?
