Welcome to the future: three key takeaways

Already, 2020 has been a challenging year. But with challenge, comes opportunity – a chance to stop, rethink and get creative. After all, some of the most innovative and successful businesses were born in a recession, including Netflix, Airbnb and Slack.

But what must businesses do to make sure they are one of the success stories?

Recently, we teamed up with acclaimed Futurist, Richard van Hooijdonk, to host an innovation webinar entitled ‘Welcome to the future: a new reality’. The session brought together more than 300 individuals to explore how businesses can stay successful in challenging times, as well as some of the technologies and trends we should be embracing in the near future. Here are our top three takeaways:

  • Don’t ignore changing trends
  • Invest in innovation
  • Embrace the future

At APS we have heavily invested in our own innovation programme designed to aide our range of clients. We work to help solve their operational and strategic challenges through a tailored programme of innovation that is designed to unlock new ways or thinking. To request a recording of the recent webinar or for more information on any of our services please contact us at marketing@theapsgroup.com
