Binary Shift 2020 - virtual conference without the typical virtual feel. There were no Zoom calls, no awkward lulls, and no tech problems - just a full day of electrifying speakers and engaging conversations.

This year’s Binary Shift Conference is upending virtual events.

GippsTech’s own Dr. Elena Kelareva is at the forefront of Gippsland’s regional development and innovation. She firmly believes in connecting communities and businesses to world class information and technology, something which was previously only found in cities.

In recent years, consumers have shown that they’re increasingly willing to engage with technology. Gone are the days when we would speak to customers face-to-face to make a sale. COVID-19 has accelerated the consumer shift to digital channels.

New restrictions are once again impacting Victorian businesses. There are a lot of things you can do to make improvements to your business during this time, and we are here to help you. Circumstances can change overnight, but there is one thing that you can control -- you can make sure your business adaptable and future-proofed.

COVID-19 is shaping digital innovation in nearly every business sector. As business owners have seen predictable markets turned on their heads, they’ve started to reassess their long term plans - and quickly.

As a business owner, you have likely seen your fair share of failures and difficulties. But have you thought about how you can use your struggles to overcome, grow, and build your business? While COVID-19 restrictions are easing, and there is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, it’s time to pivot out of survival mode and look to the future of your business.

The effects of Coronavirus, and the behaviour changes we’ve seen as a result, will likely change the meaning of “normal” for both businesses and their customers. As we begin to see a faint flash of light at the end of what has felt like a very long tunnel, it’s natural to ask “What next?”

In times of rapid change, businesses that can innovate and adapt quickly are the ones best placed to survive and thrive during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our team at GippsTech understand the struggles that come with having to be agile and adapt quickly. There have been many instances over the past month where businesses which were previously in demand, are now struggling - such as restaurants, cafes and retail outlets.

We have put together a suite of services to help you become relevant and in demand at this time!

The world looks entirely different from just 30 days ago, the COVID-19 pandemic that is sweeping the globe has brought about significant changes to businesses of all sizes and industries. In times of rapid change, businesses that can innovate and adapt quickly are the ones best placed to survive and thrive.

Our team at GippsTech wants to help and support as many businesses as possible through this difficult time, and we have put together an Innovation Consulting Package to do just that.

Simon Sinek says, “A team is not a group of people that work together. A team is a group of people that trust each other.”

They are the wheels that keep your business spinning, so how can you help them to continue on through adversity?
