"Businesses have rapidly adopted new technologies and new ways of working in response to massive disruption caused by the pandemic. If such innovation continues, it could boost Britain's economy in the long term, according to economic researchers.
A snapshot survey* by the LSE's Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) and the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) finds that more than 60 per cent of firms had adopted new technologies or new management practices since the start of the pandemic.
And more than 90 per cent of these firms said that they expected to keep the changes in place once the crisis is over."
