One of the biggest lessons learned by businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic is the need to be agile, to face unthinkable challenges and adapt to rapidly changing market conditions. While the adverse effects of the global crisis are beginning to wane, this lesson is here to stay.
Eighty-seven percent of business leaders believe that the events of 2020 increased the demand for agility, and 83% admit that agility is also critical to their activities in 2021, according to a new BizOps industry research survey on the state of digital business.

The world is eager to put the trials of 2020 behind it. But the challenges COVID-19 brought to the business world are not going away anytime soon.

As the COVID vaccine roll-out propels the world back into high gear, companies that survived the pandemic are getting ready for another test: Generating profit in a digital environment.

Digital operations have their foundation in data. And while collecting data is relatively simple, reorganizing the value chain around it is not.
Companies need both intelligent technology and a united front to face the data onslaught and then convert it into business value. DevOps and agile methodologies have been heralded as the missing link to unite information technology and operations in digital harmony. But these approaches miss a crucial component: business outcomes. Filling this gap is the BizOps approach.

We discuss what this could mean for the NHS and whether this is a precursor to an even bigger job.
Along with this we cover more significant people moves in the health service this week and an update on the government’s ‘40 new hospitals’ building plan; with two new builds accelerated we ask what this could mean for the original projects. Can we expect a bun fight for the money?
