| Pivot Ideas - DigitalAsian |
Today, I saw in The Economist feed that the airline Cathay Pacific is to start selling airline meals direct to the public.
This got me thinking about other pivots that businesses have done this year. Let me know of any pivots you have seen or done yourselves.

| Decentralized Talent - DigitalAsian |
With Palantir's announcement that they are moving from Palo Alto to Denver, brings into focus the whether you need tech hubs, such as Silicon Valley, where you get all the tech and engineering talent in one place. Denver also has offices for other Big Tech firms.
Silicon Valley has faced the problem of high accommodation costs for some time. With 'working from anywhere' and remote working now common. Companies are re-assessing their commercial office space requirements. And tech talent can become less centralized and more decentralized.
But, tech hubs, like Silicon Valley, not only have tech talent but also the VCs that support them and other necessary services to support and foster a good environment for commercializing ideas. Also, the quality and cost of the digital infrastructure matters. Locations where the digital infrastructure is good will fare better than others.
Will tech talent continue to be drawn to Silicon Valley and other tech hubs?

| Digital Venues: Live Streaming - DigitalAsian |
With use of physical event venues limited, digital venues, i.e. your smart devices, are now the go to 'place' for events. Only now, the 'venue' moves with you. Its not yet the same feel as attending a live event at a physical location but there are other things you can do on a live stream, such as, putting comments that others can see in real time.
Event organizers are having to learn new skills and technologies to attract and monetize their audience.
Let me know your experiences.
