“One thing which came out definitely from COVID-19 is people making new and renewed commitments to their values and goals for example, balancing time spent at work and with family. At the same time, people are weighing the risks and values in everyday decisions about where they go, who they spend time with, what they do, and what they buy.”
The changes in the external environment resulting from the pandemic will affect customers, employees, vendors and partners.
