How we can stimulate a faster and better economic recovery in the aftermath of COVID-19
Oxfordshire Voice and guest speakers take a look at how we can stimulate a faster and better economic recovery in the aftermath of COVID-19.
About this Event: The economic impact of COVID-19 globally, nationally and locally will be profound. With that in mind, Oxfordshire Voice wants to work with its partners towards the best possible recovery in Oxfordshire. If contributing to the shape of that recovery interests you, you should attend our first in the regular series of OV webinars which will address the key issues affecting Oxfordshire’s economy.
A broad response will be needed to stimulate new activity and assist the transition from lockdown and social distancing to phased re-opening and beyond. This will be vital to do well and in a timely way – as we move from the COVID-19 crisis phase to that of managed recovery – with the aim of stimulating the ‘bounce back’ sooner and better for workers and businesses.
What recovery scenario we will be working in is still unclear. To this end, this OV session aims to discuss the options with a wide group of its members to build an understanding of the type of local action needed to bounce back well.

Why joining a community of business leaders can enhance your reputation and credibility
I read a LinkedIn post recently that reassured business owners that if they’d managed to keep their businesses going during recession, Brexit, COVID and the cost-of-living crisis that they deserved a huge pat on the back and shouldn’t ‘beat themselves up’. Easier said than done when costs are rising and doing business seems to get harder rather than easier, but the sentiment was well-placed.
Why it’s important for Business Leaders to be exposed to new...
Nobody likes a ‘know it all’ and let’s face it, there’s no such thing. At the other end of the scale, many of us don’t create enough time to take on board new ideas, innovation and creativity in whatever format. How many times have you been recommended to read a book, get sent the link, go on Amazon, maybe even buy it but it just sits on your bookshelf? Come to think of it, as an aside, just think about that for a second….I wonder what the actual percentage of books purchased are actually read? Frightening thought!
