You are a project manager in the IT industry. Your project team has worked remotely and outsources some critical skills needed to work on your project. This is mainly due to the newer 4th industrial revolution technologies and platforms, and the fact that in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many companies and employees have transitioned to working remotely. According to Gartner, about 74% CFOs plan to change at least 5% of previously on-site employees into permanently remote positions after the pandemic ends.

Task: Critically discuss the project management policies for a hybrid model and allowing contracting work if the CEO wants to adopt the hybrid working structure. Use your own examples to support your discussion.
