2020 Reflections: Looking Back to Move Forward

Focusing on the Talent Challenge in Financial Services

2020 proved itself to be a very interesting year. If 2020 brought anything positive, it was helping companies to realise the importance of their Technology talent. It helped companies to understand how vital the cloud proved to be in creating a fluid working environment. It is understandable that the majority of people cannot wait to finish 2020 and have a brand new start; However, it can be tempting to enter it with blind optimism. While we can all be eager to put the challenges behind us, to learn as much as possible from the adversities we all faced last year can be important. Reflections on the challenge can, perhaps, achieve more and help to shape 2021 and beyond.
