As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, IT professionals need to focus on higher-level strategic thinking to stay relevant in their careers.

But it's important to remember that while the pandemic has thrown us a curveball, it's not the only factor in play. The ability to adapt and innovate also plays a significant role in a company's success or failure.
