As 2020 draws to a close, you may be considering, like many of our clients, how to budget for success and achieve the best result for 2021.
The COVID-19 crisis has affected sectors in different ways and will continue to disrupt – but here's what we do know:
In-person options for events, training and team-building are likely to be limited, especially in the first half of 2021
The "new normal" for business looks very different to what it did a year ago… which means different needs for and pressures on information services, expertise, and budgets in your organisation
Your organisation needs – more than ever – access to information products, services and expertise, aligned with its goals and objectives.
A resilient budgeting process links into your organisation’s overall business strategy. How well poised are you to face this future, strategically and effectively?
