In the third episode of Escaping Lockdown, Professor J. Ignacio Canales interviews one of his former students at the Adam Smith Business School in the University of Glasgow, David Timis.
In this episode, Ignacio and David discuss the opportunities lockdown has provided to fellow entrepreneurs and business leaders to take a step back and take this time as an opportunity to self-reflect and realise the growing importance of soft skills.
Being a researcher on AI and the future of work and currently studying a Master’s in Public Policy at the College of Europe, David discusses how Covid-19 has and will continue to push the digital revolution and virtual working as part of the new normal for businesses.
Finally, Ignacio and David look at the higher education system and the impact lockdown has had on Universities around the globe and the opportunity this has provided to make blended learning more mainstream. They also discuss the need for businesses to connect with education more post lockdown, particularly at secondary level education in high schools to help empower students to think more critically from a younger age and prepare them for the challenging job market.
