New Radar article: "An Agent of Change"
2020-08-25 | tags: Radar

Today O'Reilly Radar has released a piece I co-wrote with Mike Loukides, called "An Agent of Change." It's a look at how the pandemic has influenced our personal and business decision-making, with a little bit of risk and complexity thrown in for flavor:

Specifically, we’ll see this through the lens of decision-making: how has Covid-19 changed the way we think? And what does this mean for our purchase patterns and business models?
