Will customers’ behaviour return more or less to normal, as they return to work?
Yes: Dr Cristina de Balanzo suggests that the behaviour changes are the result of enforced change, while people’s attitudes have not changed much, so expect a return to past behaviour.
No: Sam Zell says the pandemic will have same long-lasting changes in human behaviour and so economic and social effects as the 1930s Depression. Which will imperil many business models.
Shall we wait and see? Or, as appropriate, find out what our customers want, intend, are motivated by, and what they are doing, as the months go by.
