Carolyn and Seth talk about CompTIA's new research, the IT Industry Outlook 2022. The theme of the report is "Return to Strategy," as both IT professionals and IT channel firms start moving back toward the dual mindset around tactics and strategy that was developing pre-pandemic. The report includes 10 trends to watch, including a shift toward consulting for channel firms and the evolution of software to become even more granular. The report also includes in-depth sections on IT pro and channel firm behavior, including a renewed interest in hiring and the major balancing act businesses will have to perform when deciding how to handle their workforce in the coming year.
