I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Drucker: 366 Days of Insight and Motivation for Getting the Right Things Done.

The action point for today was to look at market trends and look at the longevity on impact on my organization and life. Being in healthcare and one that is trying to disrupt the healthcare model by bringing direct to healthcare to members via employers is a good position to be in. We as a company shifted to virtual healthcare and saw a huge positive from that. I’m not privy to our current talks with clients. We seem to be in a good position with a lot of them. I imagine the PR is bad if you get rid of your healthcare provider during a pandemic. We have had to shift a lot of activities like everyone else.

I expect that virtual health will have a huge spike for the next two or three years. As more companies get back into the office I believe we’ll see more in person care return. I believe working from home will be a fade for the time period. As companies start seeing cracks in productivity and worker health we’ll start to see companies bring their employees back on site. Working from home is really hard for managers and I believe a majority of managers are not prepared for what needs to be done. What’s required is more communication. Micromanagement is a phrase being used more and more these days. Often overused for things like regularly reporting and communication.

The other side of my arena is IT security. It’s been a hot market and is predicted to continue to be a hot market. Especially with a lot of people working from home. There are challenges in ensuring we can protect those people while they’re at home. Combining security and healthcare will mean I have job security for an extended period of time.
