What if hundreds of CSCers around the globe would join forces to contribute to a global Technology Transformation?
What if all these colleagues would volunteer to do this in addition to day jobs, during nights and weekends?
What if this effort would be executed in an agile manner with the simple intention to make us better, to improve our customer experience, to increase focus on technology and how to apply technology to help our customers to boost their businesses?
What if objectives and deliverables would be defined and agreed upon within an extremely short time?
What if after a few weeks into the Technology Transformation Program we’d already now see first tangible results?
What if this would all be true?
Well, it is! – and it’s an exciting journey we’re undertaking here. I am proud of all colleagues contributing and taking lead.
Stay tuned – more to come soon
