Predictions on what future travel model looks like for big 4 advisory post vaccine 3, 6, and 12 months post inoculation. Are we headed back to ~16 days a month in hotels and airports? Or are we going to have more flexibility in the future model? WFH works well for many, and not for many, but having the ability to allow some autonomy in the frequency of travel, or a decrease from what it was in the past has massive long term appeal to many for many reasons. Can we strike a balance?Back to normal?

I think for all consulting it’s going to depend on what the client wants/is willing to pay for. If the client values in person communication and thinks it’ll have a great impact on the engagement’s progress then they’ll probably pay the premium for flying and housing consultants. If they are more price sensitive, they’ll probably opt to have a WFH engagement

OP like I said it’s going to vary from client to client

My take is we'd definitely have to strike a balance. We'd move to Hybrid work platforms....and probably only travel when client insists!
