Burning Issue: Be a useful resource, especially in times of crisis.
2020 has tested relationships – and your relationship with your firm is not exempt. Crises can really identify the true, dedicated partners to you and your company.

In a crisis like the pandemic, you need up-to-date information and actionable advice which you can bring to internal stakeholders, and so you want a highly responsive firm. Your firms should look at your challenges as their opportunity to be there for you, and they should focus on developing a long-term relationship rather than prioritizing short-term profits.
