What changes do you expect to see in your practice over the next year?

We are all facing a very uncertain economic and political climate at the moment, which I am certain will throw up a whole host of changes, and if the last few years have taught us anything, it's hard to predict what those changes might be – so I guess a future (or perhaps continuing) change/theme in my practice will be adaptability.
