In many ways business processes have expanded and adapted due to the impact of the pandemic. There has been a far greater acceptance and usage of collaboration tools to take in to account geographically and globally distributed teams as well as those working from home. The business meeting has more and more become a quick brainstorming session with fewer participants, a more agile approach to managing projects.
