Very swiftly, the pandemic demanded a rethinking of the workplace, as companies struggled to adapt to the new normal. For business development leaders, this change presented numerous challenges, from the shift in customer priorities to the move to primarily virtual interactions — and the future is still largely unknown. According to the latest McKinsey Global Survey from January 2021, respondents were divided over what’s to come.
