Turning Data Ability into Adaptability

As the dust from COVID-19 settles and we edge closer to a post-pandemic reality, companies have learned that flexibility and agility are more than mere buzzwords. Businesses that could readily adapt at the outset of the pandemic quickly proved to be more resilient, and they've been rewarded with competitive advantages over their rivals. As the virus ebbs away, businesses such as these will also be better equipped to navigate the continued changes to working conditions and business trends. Data, which is important to all businesses regardless of their size, can help companies become more flexible and thus more resilient. But it only becomes a useful asset if it's harnessed correctly. How can companies use their data to future-proof themselves and stay agile in an era of change? In this discussion—moderated by Michael Frank, Senior Analyst at The Economist Intelligence Unit—we hear from our executive panel on how data can make organizations more agile, flexible, and resilient to future changes.
