Dealing with cancelations and shutdowns due to the pandemic
We at Plessas Experts Network (PEN) are sincerely hoping that this coronavirus pandemic is both short-lived and not as deadly as it would seem, but we are preparing for the worst. We realize that events are (rightly) being cancelled around the globe. But while these events are cancelled, we know that criminals are not cancelling their plans. If anything, there are opportunities for crimes created by the level of uncertainty in this time.
What are we doing to prepare? Well, most of our staff work at home when not out at events, so we are continuing that work. The team is taking care of themselves and their immediate families by following what the CDC and local jurisdictions recommend, including washing hands often and disinfecting when applicable.
For coursework, PEN has moved much of our content online into our Academy and has started a series of methodology webinars to help fill the training gaps. The webinars can be accessed directly from the Academy webpage or soon via our calendar of events.
We will continue to book direct custom classes available through our Academy until in-person hands-on classes become available again.
As a small business, we understand the pressures these cancellations put on the businesses and staff. We are also available to help others who do not yet have the capability to host virtual courses with hosting and/or technical help in setting up a similar academy. The only way we will get through this is to do it together.
