Panellists from a range of organisations will share great examples of the steps taken to employ a digital workforce, and the effects that this has had.
There are no silver bullets for leveraging automation. Our panel will discuss how automation is being leveraged to increase productivity and efficiency, in a range of organisations from SME, not-for-profit and commercial enterprise.
Hear how the ‘Great resignation’ has increased the need to better engage with, and utilise, an organisation’s most valuable asset – its people – and use automation to augment them and redefine how business can be done.
