The MyWorld Observatory focuses on the impact and legacy of MyWorld across business, society, industry and the public.
Through the research and creation of robust, low-carbon, high-inclusion, high-democracy alternatives to existing practices within the creative industries. The MyWorld Observatory is seeking to ensure we don’t just change the industry and region from an innovation standpoint but from a societal and ethical one as well.
The MyWorld Observatory is ensuring that the impact in the region feels tangible to those who live, work and play here and invites communities to have the opportunities to feed into, respond to and shape MyWorld’s work so that it reflects them and their lives. As well as this, the Observatory connects MyWorld activities to the commercial marketplace, to effectively exploit new products and engage new partners.
All of MyWorld’s activities are monitored by the Observatory to enable real-time, strategic development and iteration based on internal data, global trends and horizon scanning providing insight into future industry movements, challenges and opportunities.
