Digital Disruption has been a key theme for 1E in 2015, with both our CEO Sumir Karayi and COO Nick-Milne Home engaging on the subject at conferences and in the media. While raising awareness of the topic, we’re also passionate about keeping up to date on it. Here are some of the best videos we’ve seen lately – and we think anyone with a keen interest in the topic should make an effort to watch.
