From Ostrich to Magpie• “While the UK’s best performing firms are highly innovative, best

practice must reach a greater range of businesses, improving productivity through the adoption of technologies and ideas that are proven” ...

• ... “The kind of technologies we’re talking about are the proven ones like cloud, mobile, e-purchasing, cyber security, CRM [customer relationship management] – these are all technologies that the best firms are already using.”
