COVID-19 (Coronavirus) update

I really enjoyed the Managing Innovation Strategically course; many useful takeaways and food for thought! The content was very engaging, the lecturers managed to make the course very interactive even in this virtual environment, and the discussion with the rest of the group was extremely insightful in terms of what other companies and industries out there are doing. Now time to figure out how to apply everything!
