In an ever-evolving industry, how do #tech companies stay ahead of trends and market shifts? This was the central question as Insider Media invited tech innovators from across Yorkshire to discuss the strategies they are employing to remain competitive. Jo W., our Principal Consultant Lead, was excited and honoured to represent Aire Logic Limited at this event. The conversation spanned Investment, AI, ESG and bridging the digital skills gap. Despite ongoing challenges in the M&A market, technology continues to be seen as an exciting sector with strong growth potential. While overall funding in tech has decreased, there remains significant investor interest in high-quality assets, particularly in AI and deeptech. Currently, the lack of specific AI regulation in the country poses a substantial obstacle to implementation. Existing regulatory frameworks for older technologies do not adequately address the unique challenges posed by AI. Recruiting individuals with the necessary skillsets to understand and effectively communicate technology is also a significant challenge. Smaller companies often overlook the importance of product managers and marketers, yet those that recognize these roles tend to achieve greater success. A special thanks to the sponsor Mills & Reeve, and it was great to meet the insightful participants who attended. Be sure to check out the full coverage in the September issue of Yorkshire Business Insider.

‘Innovation including AI is central to the future of public services.’ Today, we held the fourth and final roundtable as part of our 'Heart of the matter - getting to grips with whole place transformation' research project with Localis (think tank). The discussion focused on the role of analytics, AI and innovation in #localgovernment, and how it can be leveraged to enhance #publicservices and financial sustainability. Thank you to our attendees for a rich and diverse discussion. Achieving better outcomes for our citizens was the golden thread, aptly summed up by one attendee: ‘The ultimate aim of AI should be free up more time and capacity for humans to be talking to other humans, enabling public sector colleagues to take a wholly person-centred approach.’ Jon Ainger Theo Blackwell MBE Philip Clifford Local Government Association Piali Das Gupta Joe Garrod John P.

When delivering transformation, it can be easy to focus on the technical aspects of a project. However, good stakeholder comms are critical to the success of the change journey says Justine Howl https://lnkd.in/eN5qCgnN #Change #Transformation #DigitalTransformation #BusinessChange #Communications #Comms

Essential to delivering the UK Government plans for growth is fixing the digital divide. Here’s what we welcome from the Chancellor’s ‘invest’ #Budget2024 ⬇️ 1. Many with no or low digital skills want to get back into work. We welcome the Chancellor’s Get Britain Working White Paper and £240m investment, and look forward to digital inclusion being central in the pilots to help people return to work. 2. 20.7m people still aren’t using the NHS app. With £22.6bn added to the health budget and £3.1bn in capital, we hope investment supports inclusive, affordable online healthcare services so everyone benefits from the ‘analogue to digital’ shift. 3. In 2024, Ofcom reports that 24% of households struggle to afford communication services. Rural connectivity is improving but still challenging. We welcome continued investment and look forward to working with DSIT to make affordable, reliable connectivity a reality. Read more on the Budget, #DigitalInclusion, and a National Network for All in our Group CEO Helen Milner OBE's blog at https://lnkd.in/eAsaTq3R.
