How the Global Pandemic Changed Information Technology Forever — A Conversation with Gregory S. Smith

Gregory S. Smith is the CIO of the American Kidney Fund, a professor at Georgetown University, and the author of five books, the most recent of which is The New Normal in IT: How the Global Pandemic Changed Information Technology Forever. In this interview we talk about his new book and his thoughts on the pandemic and post-pandemic business landscape. Did COVID-19 accelerate trends that were already in the process of becoming the new normal, or was a worldwide disruption of this magnitude necessary to transform our working lives? How has technology allowed us to weather this crisis, and what have we learned from the experience that will inform our future business decisions? Is hybrid and remote work here to stay? How does that inform the ongoing conversations about attracting and retaining top talent?
