It's a succinct and plausible set of positions held by the author, but I'm not sure this one holds up:

"The disruptions in face-to-face work will be a drag on economic efficiency, leading to slower growth in revenues, lower profit margins, and reduced cash flow."

Maybe I've been doing business remote/virtual for so long already that I see actual face-to-face as the economic inefficiency more often than not. Earlier, the author espouses the obvious benefits of being in person, but I think those have been outweighed by the trade-offs for many years already. What many will simply need to adapt to going forward is the type of communication differences required for successful remote/virtual/verbal interactions.

Quality listening skills and straight talk are more important than ever!
