Volgens enqu\u00eateresultaten is zo’n 53% van de kleine tot middelgrote bedrijven van plan om op lange termijn mogelijkheden voor werken op afstand aan te bieden. En een soortgelijk onderzoek door Intermedia<\/a> noted that SMB's 57% plans to keep employees working remotely beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, fueled by benefits such as employee availability, increased job and life satisfaction and reduced overhead costs. It is even said that the head offices<\/a> as we have known them so far, will largely disappear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Recent research on small businesses found that 40% of those with business plans regularly updated them to monitor the viability of major revenue streams. 61% of those who did this analysis indicated that they were confident in their health company<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So while decision-making was fraught with uncertainty in 2020, those who used their financial data to make quick, informed decisions found themselves more successful through the crisis. But it doesn't stop there, as more and more companies try to use combinations of both internal and big data to make smarter decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to recently research<\/a> 75% of the companies has adapted their products or services to small businesses. 31% defined them as major changes and 27% of those who did, also explored new streams of income with these adjustments. And these changes have not yet been completed: 33% of the respondents indicate that they plan to add additional revenue streams in 2021, if only to absorb losses in other areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to a recent study<\/a> from McKinsey & Company, most of these adjustments are digital in nature and completely dependent on the industry in which you operate. Automotive and assembly, for example, showed little increase in the acceptance of digital products. However, industries such as healthcare, financial services and professional services reported an increase of almost twice that of mainstream consumer products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n People also asked during the study about expectations for long-term change. They found that the biggest changes, including switching to remote working, rapidly changing consumer needs and the desire for remote products and services, are expected to continue after the recovery. Companies that have already made these adjustments are doing so with a view to long-term transitions, which may also make these changes more permanent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As of August 2020 estimated IDC<\/a> (the International Data Corporation) that the AI market for artificial intelligence would grow by 12.3% by the end of the year. This increase was fueled by the drive for digital services and data insights, as well as the need to cut costs. On a larger scale, this includes elements such as deep learning, big data and user experience, but it also means a greater investment in HR, payroll and customer service tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the IDC expects growth in 2021 to be less than initially expected due to the slowdown during and beyond COVID-19, it will still show a double-digit growth trajectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It should come as no surprise that internet and mobile usage increased in 2020. According to a joint study led by Next Web, the number of people using the internet has increased by 7.3%, mobile use by 1.3% and social media users by 13%. The number of users of social media has now reached more than half of the total world population, which will continue to increase even after COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on analysis by the social media tool Hootsuite, it is estimated that users will spend a total of 3.7 trillion hours on social media by 2021. And the State of Mobile Report<\/a> now shows that mobile usage has surpassed traditional TV, making it the first screen for most people. However, at least two thirds of mobile users say they also use a laptop or desktop to get online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The use of multiple platforms also extends to social media. Thanks to analysis<\/a> of the data from the Global Web Index, at least 98% of the users uses two social media platforms. This means you can expect audiences to overlap, such as 85% from 16-64 year olds of TikTok users who also have Facebook or 95% from Instagram users in the same age bracket who also use YouTube. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There may have been a time when we could have expected that after COVID-19 things would turn out exactly as they did before the pandemic. As it has expanded and both consumers and businesses have adapted, that becomes almost 100% unlikely. We may eventually see a shift back to personal interactions and service, but that will likely be a luxury attached to digital offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sources including IBM (link<\/a>), IndustryWeek (link<\/a>), Live plan (link<\/a>), McKinsey (link), NewsWire (link<\/a>), TheAmericanReporter (link<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 2020 was een van de meest uitdagende jaren voor mensen en bedrijven in de recente geschiedenis.
