Methods & strategies: Zooming out Zooming out – the bigger picture In an insightful article in the Harvard Business Review, Rosabeth Moss Kanter discusses the importance of exploring “multiple perspectives to get a complete picture.

The potential disruption from new COVID-19 variants is only one of them. There are also concerns regarding geopolitical issues … European tourism is slowly navigating the path to recovery, driven by pent-up travel demand, ongoing vaccine rollouts, the gradual lifting of international travel restrictions, the adaption of travel and tourism to operating alongside the pandemic, and coordination efforts among countries on travel protocols.
