Podcast: Two Nations - the Small Business & the Digital Divide

Jane Charlton and Simon Whittemore from JISC attended the ALT-C pre-conference workshop on small businesses and the digital divide. The workshop was attended by conference delegates and representatives from Yorkshire and Humberside’s business community. Yorkshire Forward, Yorkshire and Humberside’s Regional Development Agency, gave some context to the workshop discussions by presenting the findings from their 2008 ICT Regional Benchmarking Study report. Digital 20/10 is an initiative of Yorkshire Forward, responsible for the successful development of digital skills in the region. Its successor, Digital 20/20 is a collaboration between major ICT businesses, the public sector and skills providers in the region tasked with increasing ICT adoption across all sectors from the public sector through to business and the general public.
In this podcast Jane Charlton speaks to Robert Ling from Yorkshire Forward, David Kay of Sero Consulting who manages the Digital20/10 initiative and Simon Whittemore, the Programme Manager of Business and Community Engagement for JISC.
