Turning Crisis into Engineering Opportunity with Mike Wilkinson

So Mike COVID nineteen has obviously been a big topic of conversation when it comes to business and what else is going on around the world. So how have you led paragon innovations through this particular time and talk to me a little bit about being a leader and being a business leader during COVID nineteen? Yes. So the the, you know, anytime there's a problem or downturn in the market. It's really a good opportunity to think about how can we be innovative and jump out there and do something different and take advantage of the situation. So Paragon's done the same. So we've we've already been a technology company. We're able to continue our work with our clients and do that remotely, and we've taken advantage of getting our customers more depth to technology and make those transitions for them as well? So one of the things I'm most curious about about this time is what changes or innovations we see to cope with COVID nineteen end up being permanent changes the way we live and do life after this. So how do you see IoT maybe playing a part in what the world looks like post COVID nineteen and how can it maybe play a role in the recovery process, the reopening process, and things along those lines. And great question. So, you know, in our case, I think we're gonna we've seen that we can do more technology remotely. I've always been adverse of doing things outside the office. I like to have everybody together, and I still believe that's the best. But we've proven that we can do things outside the office. We have the tools, to do that, and all the wireless stuff that we have remotely as well. I mean, sometimes we're not even working in our home. We're working outside with some and so being able to be that remote. I found myself, in fact, I spent three days two weeks ago on my boat in the lake and I just camped out there and I worked and I worked and then I would sleep and work and work and got a lot done. And I could do it off from my boat, so it really doesn't matter where you're physically located. Nothing wrong with that? Exactly.
