Is net zero by 2050 a pipe dream?

The issue of climate change is one which we can no longer ignore, with it now becoming the defining crisis of our time. It is one which can lead to many being left with feelings of hopelessness and vulnerability. However, due to recent developments and initiatives, certain industries, with the inclusion of public sector authorities, now have the power to assist with the change. It is only with joint effort and commitment that we can combat this crisis, and emissions can be reduced. Companies who commit and work towards meeting their net zero targets will be most significant in changing our futures and improving the current climate crisis.

Why is Digital Transformation Still So Difficult Today?

Post written by Leslie Willcocks, Emeritus Professor of Work, Technology and Globalization at LSE’s Department of Management.  Businesses today face a digital catch-22.

After all, it has been on many executive agendas for a decade or more.  Many organizations digitize – convert something into a digital format usable by computers – or even digitalize and deploy digital data and technologies to improve business operations. For example, automating a procurement process, and using algorithms to make procurement decisions and analytics software to provide insight. But this only impacts procurement; it is not digital transformation, though many might think, or hope, it is. To succeed at digital transformation...
