During 2020, the Great Reset Dialogues resulted in multi-year tasks, such as the digital transformation program where cross-industry stakeholders investigate how the 2020 "dislocative shock" had increased and "sped up digital improvements". Their report stated that, while "digital ecosystems will represent more than $60 trillion in revenue by 2025", "only 9% of executives [in July 2020] state their leaders have the right digital abilities".
