The most impactful automation transformations happen when organisations empower their own people to lead the charge. Innovation should be something that comes from within, built on the insights, energy, and creativity of internal teams. When employees are equipped with the right tools, frameworks, and support, they become the driving force behind meaningful change. Hear how the University of East London is partnering with ORG to embrace this approach and the momentum they’ve created by enabling their teams to shape the future of work.
