Webinar recording – Connected to Culture LIVE: Building digital skills for the future

About the conversation

This panel discussion, presented in partnership with Google Arts & Culture and their Connected to Culture playbook, was recorded live on Thursday 29 October 2020.

Chaired by Tiina Hill, Senior Manager, Digital Culture Network, Arts Council England,  and featuring panellists:

  • Adam Szabo – Chief Executive, Manchester Collective
  • Jemma Waters – Head of Responsible Transformation, Lloyds Banking Group
  • Liz Williams MBE – CEO, FutureDotNow UK & Chair, Good Things Foundation

They came together to discuss:

  • The skills gaps highlighted by the pandemic
  • Ways organisations can be innovative in how they use the skills they already have in-house
  • How that might shape thinking around skills acquisition in the future
