The COVID-19 pandemic has made it abundantly clear that the ways in which we work , socialise and connect will never be the same . The past year saw a globalscale , involuntary experiment with remote work- , the likes of which had never been contemplated before . The exact ramifications this year will have for the future of the enterprise have yet to be fully understood .
Simultaneously , enterprises are grappling with increased need for sustainable practice throughout their operations and , at a time when the demand for digital connectivity has never been higher , reconciling these seemingly disparate goals presents a unique and timely challenge .
“ Over the last couple of years , we ' ve seen an increase in the realisation that sustainability is going to be increasingly important ,” says Anders Erlandsson , Head of Ericsson ’ s IndustryLab . “ Of course , whether we see that understanding and realisation translate into real action , well , that ' s where we ' ll have to wait and see .”
