Visual form
Bar Chart: ten-view grouped vertical bar chart comparing organizational-change categories by industry or respondent group.
Layout / body structure
Each view keeps the same category layout and headline position. Dark navy bars show the selected industry or respondent group, while light gray bars show the total-across-industries benchmark where it appears.
What is being compared
It compares the share of executives considering or implementing large-scale organizational changes in response to COVID-19 across categories such as meetings, leadership, technology, talent, innovation, decision making, and stakeholder engagement.
Measurement system
The measure is percent of respondents. Each vertical bar is a percentage share, and paired bars allow the selected view to be compared with the all-industry benchmark.
Visible structure inside the graphic
The plot is a grouped vertical bar chart with category labels along the bottom and percentage values rising upward. The selected industry or respondent label changes from view to view, but the bar structure stays consistent.
Main takeaway from the visual
The chart shows broad momentum behind operating-model change after COVID-19, with many organizational categories reaching majority-level support across the selected views.
Key standout values or extremes
The visible panels include top bars in the upper 70s and low 80s, especially around meeting cadence, leadership, technology, and related operating changes. Lower categories still remain meaningful rather than disappearing.
