THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

To be able to use technology that is developing rapidly, it is necessary to change the mindset of the people we work with: our internal team, but also our customers.

‘Getting the technology right is the easy piece, it’s only 30% of the job. Getting change management right is 70% of the task with digital transformation.’
