At O2, we passionately believe that better technology for the UK workforce could give our country a much-needed boost. To test our theory, we commissioned a report by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) to look into the impact a more ‘Connected Britain’ would have on the economy. Here’s what we found.

Smarter Working BritainThe first ever study of how better business connectivity would help Britain's economy shows that it could add up to a £30 billion boost to our annual productivity.

Here’s how much extra productive time we could gain per employee, per year, if we were all better connected.

The time gained through a 10% increase in productivity when working on the move

Work anywhereMake work a thing to do, not a place to go

11 hours

The increase in productive time per person, per year

Cut down commutingWork from home more often

14 hours

The time saved per year through getting things done in real time, on the spot

40 Do more, and do it better Complete tasks more efficiently

hours

The estimated saving each year from improved connectivity while at customer locations

59 Make customer contact count Cut down on trips back to base and deliver better service

hours

The time saved from fewer meetings and less travel

We commissioned an independent report by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) to look into the impact a more ‘Connected Britain’ would have on the economy.

Cebr’s new study, Smarter Working Britain, set out to understand what could be achieved in the coming years if organisations were to take full advantage of existing technology.

The research confirms that the UK is missing out on potential additional growth worth £30 billion due to a connectivity deficit in Britain’s biggest businesses and the public sector.
