Among DoD leadership, eyes are now wide open to value of telework
https://federalnewsnetwork.com/dod-r...e-of-telework/If the DOD can do it, the manager of vacuum cleaner sales for MidWest USA can do it.
this is not cosmic brain surgery
it is now about production and accomplishment, not location or hours clocked in

all good points on here, but I think we are too quick to assume the zoom millenials will return to business travel.
now, they are working from home, in their pijamas. no commute. sanctioned and approved by their bosses
gonna be hard to put that back in the bottle.

You have a GCE here.
I am DoD, and have done both telework and teleconferencing extensively, for many years. It's very complex and very secure, and I'm sure it must cost a whole bunch (we own our own satellites...). I can guarantee that no vacuum cleaner company can do what we do.
We do it to increase the speed of our organizational processes (aka OODA loop). But it does not actually replace travel, rather it supplements it. Business travel still happens, for purposes related to human relationships.
Just like the vacuum cleaner salesman won't be making cold calls on zoom.

There’s a lot that will be different in the “new normal”. There is a huge push for people to consider full time work from home; however, that doesn’t mean they won’t travel. I know many are considering moving to more affordable areas with the work from home option. The long term result may be that (post pandemic) they travel more for that face to face business stuff, while day to day is in the home office. I know that this is optimistic but something will always come in to fill the void. If I were a business that was saving money on commercial real estate, I might just have room in the budget for more travel.
