Will there be an enduring impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Procurement Accountants?
John Thornton Ph.D.: The pandemic has shaken up everything, and even as things move back toward the familiar, it will be a new normal. As we've already seen, there have been winners and losers. Think online shopping v. brick and mortar. Or sit down restaurants v. home delivery platforms. Or online education v. face-to-face. By being forced to try new things, we unexpectedly find that some of them we like, and others can't wait to move past. In the field of accounting, everyone and every company still has money problems. So I expect there will be the same amount of business to go around. But we'll see fewer professionals moving back to the office. The two highest costs in professional service industries are labor, then rent. In the aftermath of Covid-19, firms will have more evidence to see what work from home was efficient, and what still needs to be done. I think the balance will permanently shift more toward the home office.
