Digital transformation is challenging leaders to think about the future of work, organisational structure designs, and new skills required to win in the digital workforce. If you design organisations today, how might a data scientist mesh with business operations? How can people collaborate to unleash new skills in product innovation and service offerings? Leaders need to be intentional in reskilling teams and attracting talent that can work at the intersection of smart humans and powerful machines.

11 years into the UK’s digital transformation journey what have we learned and what remains a challenge. From the digital front end, to legacy tech. From hybrid stepping stones to harnessing data.
