The Only Way to Learn What’s Really Next

Every year sees change. But this year broke all records with one huge catapult into an uncertain future. So what can the experiences of the past 12 months tell us about what’s next? From climate change to Black Lives Matter to Covid-19, how do we take the lessons of now and use them to accelerate forward? And how can digital drive that acceleration?

In Lessons for the Future, we explored the tech that’s powering digital transformation at pace. We looked at digital’s report card in the light of data bias and security slips. We shone a spotlight on the ways digital is innovating and empowering. We looked at the role we can all play in advancing economic growth. And we meet the entrepreneurs and leaders taking positive action by learning the lessons of the past. Meet our speakers.
