COVID-19 has gone far beyond creating a temporary crisis. It is a game changer. The major hit suffered by the global economy due to the pandemic is leading to a serious global recession. In the near future, businesses are likely to continue experiencing commercial stress, increased competition, and greater financial pressures from all their business partners. ‘Money-maker’ business teams are likely to face enormous pressure on bottom lines, while business-enabling teams, like Legal and Compliance are expected to cut their budgets and reduce their operations to ‘essential only’ tasks. All that is coming while we continue facing substantial social and cultural shocks of remote working and social distancing. Times are certainly changing.
