And to do that, you should have in place a plan ahead team, a second group of colleagues who can look ahead to how you want the business to evolve. The second is accelerate. Accelerate the shifts that you now know are needed to be successful in the next normal. And that means taking a hard look at, for example, the balance between remote working and working from an office. As you've now learned, what can be done well remotely and what cannot.

And that's going to be quite different than the past. And fourth, timing. When? When to go back? Who goes back when? And in what sequence? All of that requires careful thought and diligence.
