Is This The Calm Before The Next Storm?
Gartner, Friday, June 2,2023
The number of shortages has reduced. Inflation, while still present, isn't running amok. Freight capacity and prices have improved dramatically. We're still scrambling a bit for frontline talent, but pressure seems to have eased for many other roles.
Should we sit back and take a rest, or brace ourselves for the next onslaught?
Yes, to both!
Take a Breath, But
Everyone needs a break now and then, and it just might be the time to take a breath and regroup. This isn't just a feeling; it's backed up by data. Gartner research shows that current willingness to support enterprise change has collapsed when compared to 2016. Only 38% say they are willing now versus 74% in 2016. This transformation deficit can't be ignored.
