The business services market has remained remarkably resilient throughout challenging times. You need to find proactive and agile strategies to deliver services that meet changing customer demands.

Companies have been forced to reassess business models: reducing complexity and cost, while responding to market opportunities and remaining profitable. Technology has a key role in innovating and scaling rapidly, enabling growth.

Attracting and retaining talent is challenging, but it's vital to support the labour-led models still dominating the sector.

ESG is even more important. Companies are increasingly asked to demonstrate the sustainability of their business models.
