Hybrid working is no longer a temporary fix but a strategic decision. While flexibility has become a baseline expectation, resilience is what determines whether hybrid teams succeed or stall.  For organisations across Critical Infrastructure, building resilient hybrid teams means more than enabling remote access.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, public sector organisations are under immense pressure to enhance service delivery, streamline processes, and boost efficiency.

This guide aims to address some of the challenges faced by public sector digital teams and provide actionable solutions to help you navigate your digital transformation journey.

We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with the brilliant Anjali Ruparelia for a powerful conversation on the evolving digital and tech landscape. In 'Cracking the Code: Business Blind Spots in ICT & the Power of People', Anjali draws on her cross-sector experience to share the critical skills shaping the future of digital and tech, what businesses and individuals must do better to drive meaningful digital transformation, and her biggest lessons learned throughout a dynamic career.

As digital technology becomes increasingly integral to higher education, UK universities stand at a critical juncture. The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, data analytics, and digital learning platforms presents unprecedented opportunities to enhance student experiences, drive research excellence, and maintain global competitiveness. Yet, as this report highlights, a widening digital skills gap threatens to undermine these ambitions, placing the sector’s long-term resilience and innovation at risk.

This report serves as both a wake-up call and a roadmap for action. The cost of inaction is substantial, but with decisive leadership and strategic investment, we can build the internal capabilities necessary to navigate the complexities of the digital age. By doing so, we not only enhance the efficiency and security of our public services but also reaffirm our commitment to serving the evolving needs of the UK populace.
