7 Sep 2020: How Covid saved the high street

Hello, this is the Co-op Digital newsletter - it looks at what's happening in the internet/digital world and how it's relevant to the Co-op, to retail businesses, and most importantly to people, communities and society. Thank you for reading - send ideas and feedback to @rod on Twitter. Please tell a friend about it!

2030: How Covid saved the high street

The high street had been struggling for decades [grave voice]. Out of town retail parks and online shopping had pulled shoppers and spend away, and when the virus came along in 2020, everyone switched to online shopping. The end.

But is it possible to trace out a possible future in which Covid *saves* the high street?

Covid forced many organisations into Working From Home. The lockdowns paused lots of retail, with many unfortunate job losses and business failures.

Organisations learned that Wfh works ok, particularly if they avoid doing back to back video calls all day.

But because many towns are organised around commuting, shops and other commerce in urban centres were struggling. The Confederation of British Industry warned of ghost towns if offices stay empty, and the UK Government encouraged workers to get back to the office to save the “office economy”. Perhaps companies that had optimised for commuting and city-worker sales were most exposed: Pret A Manger cuts 2,800 jobs as sales sink to lowest level in 10 years.

Despite the government pleas, companies decide to delay returning to their office. “Fifty of the biggest UK employers say they have no plans to return all their staff full-time in the near future”. Recent research found that 9 out of 10 office workers want to continue Wfhoming in some way.

Companies start exiting big “head office” leases in big city centres. Capita to close over a third of offices permanently. Pinterest cancels plans for a massive San Francisco campus, citing remote work shift from coronavirus.

Organisations start switching to multiple regional offices. Eg: suburban bank branches find new use as alternate office space for staff reluctant to commute to big HQs in city centres. They find it more resilient, lower cost. The people costs (communication, co-ordination, productivity, team health) start to improve as organisations get better at it.

Large retailer and product brands move toward online-and-delivered shopping propositions. And shopping behaviour continues to shift: online is for things that you already know you want, or that you don’t need to inspect, or that need to be cheap. Offline is for things that you need now, or didn’t know you needed until you saw them, or for experiences.

Commuting drops because people are staying and working more locally. “Cities will not die, but their benefits could become more diffuse, with well-paid workers spread further into the rest of the country.” Their offline spend correspondingly stays more local. This means that local services and high streets see a regenerative effect, particularly where local authorities support reinvention rather than conservation. The high street is revived: a mixture of “convenient and now” and “experiential” retail.

The emptier central business districts in cities are eventually re-colonised by residential and smaller/independent retail. They eventually look like new high streets too.

Retail news

Asda is doing parcel collection and returns in 600 locations with To You. It’s not 100% clear whether it uses staff or is an automated locker thing, and it looks like it might be certain retailers/brands only. Finding new uses for existing space is interesting...

Amazon is trialling same-day delivery from Morrisons supermarkets - a trial in Leeds.

New apps use your phone to record your dimensions and recommend what size to buy at shops - it might be useful if the shop itself did this, tuning the measurement to their own sizing regime.

Price of single-use plastic carrier bags in England to double - 10p in April 2021.

Bread price may rise after dire UK wheat harvest.

Covid-safe cars

“To see the fast-food chain of the future, simply walk to your car, open the door, and take a seat. Because you’ve just arrived.” Fast food restaurants are redesigning for faster drive through and click and collect. Drive through was always about convenience, but these days your car is also a safe way to shop and a safe place to eat. If the car is a Covid-safe place, how will it be redesigned in future? How will towns and cities change so you can stay in your car?

Perhaps this is how: here’s a self-driving taxi with some interesting features. First, Covid safety: “ambulance-grade U-VC lighting”. Will this kind of thing will be used in all public transport in future? It would be helpful if shops and other public locations and forms of transport were able to visibly prove or demonstrate they were clean and safe. And maybe that UV blue (or face mask green?) will be the colour that signals “Covid-safe.

(The second interesting thing about the taxi was, the AI stuff: a careful separation between the self-driving bit and the safety bit. No doubt that is the Right Thing To Do but naively it sounds like they’re saying that there is a fair bit more work to do on self-driving.)

But if a car is *self-driving*, you might see shops that come to you. Convenient and safe.

Health news

Facebook just figured out how to make MRIs four times faster - the breakthrough, made with scientists from New York University, could transform medical imaging.

Amazon’s new $100 ‘Halo’ health band measures body fat, voice tone, sleep quality, and activity. Using AI “to help customers understand how they sound to others, helping improve their communication and relationships” sounds like great fun.

Spreadsheet error led to hospital opening delay - humans make mistakes.

Quoted

“Spoiler: it didn’t go to plan” - Co-op Digital’s Charles Burdett on launching a side project, Workshop Tactics. 

“Trying to know ourselves through platform data tends to yield partial and contorted accounts of human behavior that conceal platform interventions […] Measurement is thus a product of the social and institutional context”. Feels correct.

“Companies including supermarkets and fast food retailers must make full transparency of supply chains a condition of trade" - Greenpeace comments on a proposed UK law that would make it illegal to use products that fail to comply with laws to protect nature in those origin nations. (Imagine the depth of supply chain reporting needed.)

“Now it’s up to us to seize the means of computation, putting that electronic nervous system under democratic, accountable control.” - How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism (long read).

Get into coding: Join a non-profit coding group

There’s no doubt that the tech industry is booming and a job as a developer is one that will see you through 2020 and beyond. However, getting into coding isn’t straightforward for everyone and work opportunities in the tech industry aren’t always accessible.

In celebration of National Coding Week, we’re showcasing three not-for-profit coding organisations which support disadvantaged and minority groups to get into web development and find jobs in tech.

Kodiri, CodeYourFuture, and Coding Black Females are working hard to provide opportunities for their members to develop the technical coding skills they need as well as the confidence and know-how to find great jobs in the tech industry.

Read on to find out more about them and hear how they’ve empowered their members with the tools, skills, and support to start their coding careers.

CodeYourFuture

“I knew it was the right place for me when I saw the sense of community and a safe space for everybody” – graduate from CodeYourFuture

A non-profit organisation started in 2017, CodeYourFuture (CYF) was started as a way to train and upskill some of the most socially-excluded people within society across the UK — including refugees, ethnic minorities, people living below the poverty line, single mothers, and ex-prisoners — and help them achieve a career within the ever-expanding tech industry.

The organisation is envisioned as a replicable model that could be adapted by social entrepreneurs all over the world, to help change the lives of people who might otherwise not get the chance to learn to code.

Students are trained in full-stack web development by professional developers from all throughout the tech industry and are able to develop their product development skills of tech products throughout the entirety of their course.

CodeYourFuture success stories

CodeYourFuture Graduates have gone on to work in leading UK companies like the BBC, STV and Ticketmaster, as well as startups such as Adzuna, Sensible Object, tlr and WeGotPop.

Even though CodeYourFuture is just shy of three years old, there have already been many graduate success stories.

Madiha originally came to the UK from Pakistan over 15 years ago. After years of juggling jobs to make ends meet, she decided to turn her life around and have a fresh start. She found CodeYourFuture which proved to be life-changing for her, giving her the skills she needed to find a job she loved and rebuild her confidence.

Now working as a Software Engineer for an IT company, Madiha explains:

“I was so well supported throughout the entire learning process. I was a bit scared at first and CodeYourFuture was the best environment in which to learn. My mentors made sure I was getting the skills I needed, but also really helped to build my confidence and how to deal with stress and pressure”.

“Some of the students come from a really vulnerable background. They had to flee their countries from persecution, conflicts, and so on. For most, life was a constant emotional rollercoaster. But thanks to CodeYourFuture, they could also turn their lives around.  It’s such a nice feeling to know that there is help out there”. 

Kodiri

Kodiri is a coding platform where developers from all around the world learn the most popular programming languages by playing games against each other, from Beginner to Expert level. 

It has a special focus on helping underprivileged and underrepresented communities and is available completely free for mobile and desktop devices.

Kodiri also runs one of the largest tech groups on Meetup where they celebrate social events on a monthly basis, alongside partners like Vodafone, Oracle, and Trainline.

Founder of Kodiri, Ricardo Mallols, says that Kordiri encourages developers to build both hard and soft skills: “The coding industry is huge and rapidly changing. Many aspiring devs purely focus on their hard skills, underestimating the importance of proving attitude and motivation towards facing new challenges while being part of a team”.

Kodiri success stories

Kodiri has already helped hundreds of aspiring developers to build their tech skills from scratch. Many of them are now professional programmers across some of the most reputable tech companies worldwide, including Google and Sky TV.

Tom Hodson is now an Associate Software Developer at Sky and had no coding experience before joining Kodiri:

“Before starting at Kodiri I had never written a line of code before. In just 2 months, Kodiri helped me to secure my new role as a Software Developer at Sky”

Coding Black Females

“Tech is really powerful and being used in really interesting ways by lots of different industries” – Siobhan Baker, a member of Coding Black Females

The non-profit organisation, Coding Black Females, was founded back in 2017 as a way to provide opportunities for black female developers to develop their careers, showcase their talents, get the support they need, and help build solid relationships through regular meet-ups and a supportive online community.

The group showcases the talent of many black women currently working within the coding industry and aims to empower the next generation who are just entering the world of work.

As well as supporting its members through regular meet-ups, Coding Black Females also aims to inspire organisations to proactively improve their hiring practices and work cultures so that they are more inclusive, fair, and diverse.

Coding Black Females success stories

Siobhan Baker is currently a Software Engineer with a consultancy called 8th Light and volunteers on the Coding Black Females’ leadership team.

Siobhan’s journey to software development began with a free coding course taught by a social enterprise called Code First Girls, whose primary aim is to get more women into tech and entrepreneurship. 

In 2016, Siobhan spent two hours per week for eight weeks learning the basics of HTML and CSS in order to build her first website. Initially, she signed up for the course thinking coding would just be something “nice to learn”. Little did she know that it was the start of something more and would change her life.

Looking back on that first project, Siobhan says that there are “numerous things that I would now change and improve! However, it serves as a reminder of where I first started. Everyone and anyone can learn to code, and you’re always going to be learning and growing as your go along”.

If you’d like help getting into coding, all three of the above groups are open for you to either apply to join or join straight away. FutureLearn also offers a range of free coding courses. You can browse them all here and start learning for free today.
