With 2024 driven by technological innovation and AI, a new class of technology is taking centre stage in 2025: Soctech (Social Impact Technology). Designed to address some of the world’s most pressing social and environmental challenges, Soctech is poised to redefine the way technology serves humanity. With its unique blend of purpose and profitability, this emerging asset class is already capturing the attention of forward-thinking investors.
AI has become more than just a buzzword – it’s a pivotal tool that drives innovation, productivity and efficiency across most organisations. As a manager and leader, incorporating AI tools into your team’s workflow can improve transformation, streamline processes and help prepare for employee ownership.
One of the most powerful tools in a leader’s back pocket is the ability to resonate with their team. Stories have the unique ability to convey complex ideas, create emotional connections and inspire action. And if you have the ability to communicate in this way it will help your team relate with you on a more personal level and build trust.
With the ‘great resignation’ taking force after the pandemic and the working world changing faster than the UK’s weather, managers need to be agile and adapt, steering their teams through this unpredictable future. We believe in the power of people and if your team is empowered and well-equipped this can be the secret sauce to keeping top talent and the growth of your business.
In any team, conflict is inevitable. But instead of viewing disagreements as a negative, they can be used as stepping stones to innovation and growth.
Transforming the process of employee ownership online can bring a host of benefits to employees and business owners. In a digitally led world, leveraging technology and AI will not only enhance efficiency and accessibility but also drastically scale small to medium sized businesses (SMEs) transition to employee ownership.
Valloop is proud to be the first business to set up in the newly built shared office space at STOK (formerly the renowned M&S building), following a welcome introduction from MIDAS, Greater Manchester’s Inward Investment Agency and Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council.
