The COVID-19 outbreak has brought significant commercial impact that is felt globally. Organisations that are able to work remotely are feeling the effects of disruption brought about in part by having to shift to a fully virtual environment at a moment's notice.

The Leading Remotely initiative is intended to help those organisations that need to shift to a fully digital and remote working reality to get the best out of their business despite the disruption.

The service is being jointly offered by our People & Change and Digital Solutions teams, driving high-impact tailored insights to bring value to your organisations to help your people ease into the new way of working.

Leading people is not easy on the best of days, let alone when confined to a virtual world. This initiative is intended to help you find out how you can still get results from your people, engage and motivate them remotely and ultimately help you understand yourself as a virtual leader.

While people are still at the core of most businesses, the shift to remote work will not be possible without reliance on technology and its underlying infrastructure. This service will help you understand how you can plan and cope when the worst happens, identify the new technology risks and how to mitigate them, and find out ways how you can leverage technology to work remotely not just in the short term but even beyond.

As KPMG we believe we can support your organisation to embrace the current disruption brought about by remote working, and help you turn it into an opportunity that you can leverage now and exploit once the storm is over.
