Introduction

Show of hands: Who’s ready to put 2020 behind us?

And yet … as trying as the year has been, many have chosen to find a positive side, taking on the challenge to recalibrate for resiliency – in both their personal and professional lives – to thrive through the continuing pandemic and emerge better prepared for future crises.

As part of our ongoing research, in partnership with the Global Technology and Business Services Council, we have a few questions about your current thinking – how you are putting 2020 behind you and planning to develop resiliency in 2021 and beyond. In this context, what do you see as the market and your company’s priorities, challenges, and initiatives from a global sourcing perspective?

What’s in it for you?

We will share a complimentary version of the research results so you can understand market sentiments going into 2021, which will be useful for your own strategic and resiliency planning, including insights into issues such as:

• Actual and potential impacts from the pandemic
• Critical business model changes in the next couple of years
• Resiliency planning for the future
• Digital capabilities priorities
• Top challenges and priorities
