GLOBAL TELECOMS REIMAGINED
Taking a strategic look at the global communications industry to find the answers to the big questions. What makes the modern telco? What is the telco’s future role in the digital ecosystem? How can telcos stay relevant?

THE SUSTAINABLE TELCO
What does the term “sustainable” mean for the telecoms sector? Covering issues from responsible innovation to digital ethics, from diversity and inclusion to the industry’s green agenda.

CONNECTING THE CONSUMER
The customer’s needs are at the heart of every telco’s strategy and the customer is constantly changing. Delivering the best user experience is key to maintaining a competitive edge in a crowded market, whether that’s by delivering the best in-home network with technologies such as Wi-Fi 6 or delivering connectivity to the hardest to reach with satellite, FWA or other wireless technologies.

FUTURE REVENUE STREAMS
Telcos are increasingly looking beyond connectivity to the next big opportunity. So, what will it be – gaming, finance, health, or something else? New services also mean different partners and competitors as telcos seek to step outside of their comfort zone and into new sectors.

PEOPLE & CULTURE
People make a business, and the most successful companies are those who have a company culture which is inclusive and has a diversity of people and ideas. That’s why it’s so important to make sure your business has the right people, with the right skills and the right mindset – from new recruits up to the boardroom.
