With the rise of hybrid working post-pandemic, many employees are now enjoying the flexibility of a part office, part home set-up. Yet, despite the benefits of such an arrangement, it would be foolish to write off the importance of the office in the future.

In November 2021, 60% of the FTSE100 had pledged to eliminate their contribution to carbon emissions by 2050. This figure has since increased to over 80%. But while this presents itself as a positive trend, it is important for businesses to realise that the methods used achieve those targets have a seismic impact on how much change is actually implemented.

It’s the start of the year, you probably have a long list of resolutions, or perhaps you have read that 100th book telling you to wake up at 4am, take cold showers to be the best version of yourself...

The last few years have seen a tremendous amount of change in how we live, work and play, and it’s not about to slow down. Technology and automation, as well as uncertainties in the global economy, are transforming the business environment and what worked yesterday isn’t necessarily going to work tomorrow or the day after that. As such, we must all learn to be more adaptability in order to thrive in the face of change.

Ryan Williams is the cofounder of multimillion-pound social media agency KOMI Group. His entrepreneurial journey began as a bit of fun, making parody accounts on Twitter and Facebook. He quickly learned how to monetise his accounts and before long he founded what became KOMI Group with two like-minded social media creators. Within six years, leading the content team, he helped build the business into the industry leader it is today, working with some of the world’s most recognisable brands.

It’s fair to say that AI gets a bad rep. It’s a powerful tool: and when used incorrectly or irresponsibly, can have far-reaching negative consequences. In the last few months alone, tech behemoths Microsoft and Meta have retracted AI models following legitimate safety and inaccuracy fears. But what if instead of simply retracting models because they are unsafe, these companies cleaned up their act and created ethical AI models from the get-go that could be used more safely?
