Never before have so many new terms entered the business vocabulary in such a short period. We’ve learned what quiet quitting/firing is, we’ve spent half of our time in meetings struggling to find the unmute button, we’ve experimented with AI tools and we’ve discovered the limits of a sudden co-existence with a digital reality. It’s time to understand how much of these challenges and turbulences have turned to knowledge that can shape our future.  

The building blocks of business have changed, and how they are being put together signifies how we will navigate the road ahead. The changes have affected both corporate values and culture, but to which extent have organizations really transformed, and what level of digital maturity have they achieved? Have they managed to get to the point of becoming truly agile and embedding the digital aspect in their DNA, or are they still in a period of experimentation trying new tools and methods? Join us as we explore the Greek ecosystem’s progress in 2022 and unfold the areas every business should focus in 2023.
