Welcome to the first Kingspan Digital Academy Newsletter of 2021! My name is Chris Johnston, and I am the Founder and Director of the Kingspan Digital Academy initiative for the Asia region.
In January, when COVID-19 was so little-known, people were still going about their daily routines of working, studying and playing. However, today, there are new norms, such as home offices, virtual meetups and wearing a mask out in public. The way that my team and I work has also completely changed and settled into a new normal. Usually, I was to be found, spinner suitcase in tow, running around airports across the region as I travelled and visited my customers and staff. Not anymore.
Since we are no longer able to travel, a change in the way we work was inevitable. The Kingspan Digital Academy initiative was born out of necessity with a mission in mind:
- Create a new way to keep communicating with our customers and stakeholders.
- Keep our existing relationship with customers and stakeholders strong and develop new ones.
- Use the vast knowledge of the insulation experts at Kingspan Insulation to share our knowledge with the industry.
- Promote our “Planet Passionate” vision of a future where we aim to impact the three biggest global issues: Climate Change, Circularity and Protection of the Natural World.
