I think Covid will generally speed up the obsolescence of consulting as a big industry

I think COVID will drive more consulting next year, too many struggling firms that need help, obsolete business modes that need reinvention and a few lucky ones who need to figure out how to keep up with demand.

Depends on the segment though. Would expect decrease in demand for body leasing for sure

I think COVID will lead to lots of lasting physical and mental health problems, even for those who never get infected. Lots of people becoming more sedentary and somewhat de-socialized. I don’t think this can fail to have long term impacts on company cultures too.
