BT Speaks on 21CN at GlobalComm
Business is a matter of balance - between costs and revenue, investment and return and risk and reward. Maintaining that balance with a programme of the scale of 21CN would challenge any established organisation’s management process. Key to BT’s strategy to mitigate the risks is to be fully open and transparent. This was one of the views expressed by Paul Reynolds, speaking at Globalcomm this month.
Speaking separately on innovation, Paul said: “innovation is what differentiates our industry … the communications industry … from utility businesses like gas, water and electricity … and it has done so consistently for the last three decades. Great innovation is what makes the personal and professional lives of people easier, more productive, more flexible. It creates the opportunity for human development and learning.
“True innovation allows businesses to operate more efficiently. It changes the way societies operate and transforms economies. Truly great innovation leaves an indelible mark. Innovation is a little bit about inventing, a little bit about marketing and a large part about luck. We have to innovate innovation and reinvent invention for the 21st century.
