Title: The Rule of 77

Abstract: For many, the scale of the coronavirus crisis makes 9/11 or the 2008 financial crisis—events that reshaped society in lasting ways – look like bumps in the road. From how we shop and socialize, to the level of security and surveillance we’re accustomed to, even to the language we use, we are in the process of reorienting our relationship each other and to the outside world. Many are unsure how the rules we’ve modeled our businesses, careers and futures apply. Adopting the Rule of 77 may help to reshape the story of our lives and our businesses in a data-driven way.
