Is proximity bias undermining hybrid teams?
There is much to be admired about the new world of work. Not least the opportunity to make geography history in the sea change around where workers work. But, they say, the battle between good and evil runs through us all! Now, the new bad that has emerged in the hybrid world is proximity bias.

Navigating the global technology skills gap with AI-moderated upskilling
Work trends have rapidly changed across the world, post-pandemic. How and where people choose to work now or in the future is and will be radically different from how it used to be a few years ago. Labour markets across all sectors have undergone drastic shifts in terms of talent requirements and demands, as businesses across the board increasingly accelerate the adoption of automation and emerging technologies.

Scaling intelligently in the age of lay-offs and hyper-inflation
With continued slow growth in tech, investors will more readily scrutinise startups and deploy capital at a slower pace. Startups are therefore likely to curtail their growth, resulting in more layoffs and business consolidation.

What we can expect from the UK EV industry in 2023
2022 was a year like no other for the EV industry. In the first half of the year global sales grew by 62%, setting into motion the massive sea change that McKinsey had forecast the year before.

The importance of learning new things as you age
Learning is the process that goes through the entire life. It doesn't stop when we finish school, graduate from college, and pass the training or course. The modern generation created a special term for this process that is named lifelong learning, and the title speaks for itself.

Why partial e-procurement isn’t right for mid-market businesses
Procurement is an elementary function for all sizes of businesses. Every organisation, whether small or large, needs office supplies or collaboration with vendors to perform its operations. To streamline all these activities, digitisation plays an important role. While large organisations mainly opt for complete automation, mid-market businesses are more prone to adopt digitisation in bits and pieces.

Why today’s budding entrepreneurs may be the best chance we have for rebuilding our economy
As things stand, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to see positives amongst the gloom. Mass layoffs, falling stocks, strikes, and even the weather are convening to cast a large, and seemingly long shadow over 2023 and beyond. All forecasts suggest we’re heading towards a recession, but I want to explain why this worst-case scenario may be what’s needed to bring about the best-case future – and why the answer lies in entrepreneurship.

Fintechs for good are clearly the best
Few people would disagree that 2022 has been a difficult year. In communities across the country, individuals have struggled to fight against the toxic combination of inflation, a weakening pound, as well as the continued fallout from Covid-19 and the Russo-Ukrainian War. Businesses are beginning to feel the pinch too, with the UK’s economy now teetering on the edge of a recession.

Why personification is the only path to growth for brand marketers
The current macroeconomic and geopolitical situation has led many brand marketers to take stock of their plans going forward. While talks of budgets and P&L manoeuvring will dominate the conversation, it is just as important for brands, if not more, to dedicate some time to refining their digital advertising strategy for 2023 and beyond. This has never been more relevant at a time when the industry shifts from the era of personalised advertising to one of personified advertising.
