Note: Percentages for each sourcing channel do not add up to 100% because the graph does not include the percentage of
organizations who forecast no change in emphasis. When no organizations forecast reduced emphasis, the graph does not
show a light blue bar indicating the percentage of organizations forecasting reduced emphasis for that sourcing channel.
