Application of digital technologies and the effective and efficient use of data have long been talking points in my industry as it has for almost all others, but it feels like the last twelve months have seen an acceleration in that focus, with examples of its importance attached to every aspect of business planning. One contribution to that has been our own personal ‘digital sprint’ as we adopted the use of digital conferencing, VoIP telephony and cloud file sharing with our colleagues. In a matter of days, we enabled digital working that many of us had put off for years, attended or presented our very first webinar, and generally proved that when there is no alternative, we can truly be fast learners.
