During 2020, the Great Reset Discussions led to multi-year projects, such as the digital change programme where cross-industry stakeholders investigate how the 2020 "dislocative shock" had actually increased and "sped up digital improvements". Their report stated that, while "digital environments will represent more than $60 trillion in income by 2025", "just 9% of executives [in July 2020] say their leaders have the right digital abilities".
