Webinar | Thrive in the New Normal: Lessons Learned from the 2021 Professional Services Maturity Benchmark
March 24, 2021 – 11:00am ET / 3:00pm GMT
Why Attend
There’s a growing sense that, after a chaotic 2020, things will trend “back to normal” for professional services businesses in 2021 and beyond. But what if this is the new normal? Not just meeting with co-workers and clients remotely, but all the ways in which professional services organizations have adapted and evolved in order to cope with unpredictability. Many businesses will be relieved to go back to doing things the old way once quarantine and lockdowns are behind us, but in doing so, these businesses may be abandoning practices that would make their organizations more adaptable, more agile, and more resilient.
Join Kimble and Dave Hofferberth, Managing Director of Service Performance Insight, as we looked at what the 2021 Professional Services Maturity Benchmark tells us about why certain businesses have thrived amidst rapid change while others have struggled. In this session, we explored what characteristics are emblematic of these high-performing, future-proofed organizations and ask what strategies and tools put professional services organizations in the best position to succeed, or more accurately, in a position to move quickly to where success can be had.
