How David is building a better working world

For transformation programs to meet and exceed objectives, they must be built with people in mind. It’s not enough to simply deploy emerging technologies at scale. Governments and businesses must always approach transformation through with a human-centric perspective in order for these programs to truly work and tee up future success.
