Here in the UK, it’s commonplace for people to receive SMS from businesses, the content fulfilling any number of use cases. It’s versatile, ubiquitous and something that people are comfortable with today. Very comfortable. And it drives urgency. Just think of how long it takes for somebody to receive an SMS and for them to pick up their phone in response to the flash or beep. Not long at all.

In the shower. While driving the car. At the gym. When walking the dog. These are typical responses when I ask people where they are/what they are doing when they get their best ideas.

If you are trusted, your team will follow you. Being trustworthy allows people to feel safe, and from a place of safety, people can better express themselves, allow their creativity to flow, have some fun, and even feel confident to challenge you when they need to. This creates a great workplace culture where employees feel supported, happy, heard, and inspired.

Fear of digital attacks is at an all-time high. China, in particular, has been portrayed as a huge threat to the global West – a threat that needs defending against at all costs.
But state-sponsored spying and cyber-attacks have been happening since before the birth of the internet. So why is the Western world so concerned about digital security now?
