- Do you anticipate that you will need more space or less space in the future?
- What are the most critical changes that we must make to face the future effectively?
- What was the most important lightbulb/ “aha” moment during your real estate planning which you feel will make the difference in being able to facilitate business operations during COVID and upon re-opening?
