Description
It’s a difficult time for countries across the world and here in Scotland we share the world’s economic challenges and the impact of climate change.

The programme offers practical tools and techniques around digital transformation. Feedback has consistently shown that delegates rate highly the chance to discuss work through emerging opportunities and the key challenges faced in delivering transformation.
