Businesses rely on data to make decisions every day. Good data can be the difference between being guesswork and intelligence – it can drive strategy and help shape brands’ products and image. However, data is only useful in the context of the rules we create.

The past decade has seen sport’s relationship with money come firmly under the spotlight. The $600B global sports market has drawn in vast swathes of investment from all corners of the globe.

I grew my startup Grafomap to a £1.1M revenue with the help of influencer marketing. That was six years ago. Since then, influencer marketing has changed a lot – and not for the better.

It’s hard to believe that we are two years on from the first Covid-19 lockdowns. Everything changed seemingly overnight. What once felt unusual now feels commonplace - it’s easy to forget the turbulent change people have experienced.

When starting a business, the culture you want to create is likely to be one of the first things you talk about; it’s an essential ingredient in building a team of people who hold the same principles and will work to achieve common goals. But it’s all too easy to let that culture slip down the priority list as your business grows.

Looking back two years ago, I think about managers who were, in an instant, shoved into leading teams and businesses from the isolated confines of their homes. Having to navigate lockdowns was stressful enough. Let’s not forget that it was on top of a global health pandemic, the end of which no one had sight.

As the war in Ukraine rages, finance professionals on Wall Street and in Europe recently attracted outrage by suggesting that investing in arms manufacturers should be treated as ethical investing. In the fight against tyranny, they argued that such an investment “preserves peace and global stability” and defends “the values of liberal democracies”. As such, it belongs in the increasingly lucrative investment category known as ESG or environmental, social and governance.

Despite decades of effort, women are still severely underrepresented and undervalued in numerous professions around the globe, particularly in leadership roles. In the UK, only 43% of startups have any women in leadership. Majority-women leadership teams are even rarer, at only 15%.
