Challenge Theme:
BUSINESS
Businesses around the world have scrambled to find solutions through COVID-19. Many have had to close temporarily or rapidly create an online delivery model. There are challenges with customer experience, operations, workforce and technology. Not all businesses will be able to keep up, what does that mean for local and global economies?
By selecting this challenge, you and your team will identify a business-based system to research and map for your submission.
Some examples include:
- Increased consumer demand for home delivered goods
- Issues in food production and supply chain management with increased demand
- Employee safety and well-being while transition to remote work
- Businesses transition to ecommerce to deliver goods
- Technology training for those working virtually for the first time
As you look toward the future of business systems through this challenge, you will need to engage with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While many goals could apply, here are some related SDGs:
- Goal 2: Zero Hunger
- Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
- Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
- Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
