A global disruption turns normal routines upside down. It adds to existing crises and underscores the need to address long-neglected issues. However, not all is doom and gloom.

By tuning into diverse perspectives, we gain a better understanding of the possibilities and opportunities for our post-COVID-19 world.

GLY Design Managers and Design Engineers play a crucial role in project communications. They have backgrounds in design, engineering, and construction, which gives them a holistic view and the ability to coordinate effectively with a wide range of stakeholders.

Some responses align with prevailing thoughts while others are more surprising. Some warrant further exploration, which we plan to do in a series of in-depth follow-up pieces. Consider this an open invitation to share your perspective, too. Use the comments section at the bottom of this post. After all, our collective intelligence is greater than the sum of our individual experience.
