The arrival of daffodils, snow drops and extreme weather, courtesy of storm Freya, can only mean one thing – yes, the return of spring eWorld! And if spring’s all about new life and new beginnings, last week’s eworld hit the spot beautifully.

So you’ve invested in automation in your organisation, perhaps you’ve been exploring RPA – maybe even flirted with AI. But have you stopped to think how the tech you’re using influences your behaviour, or how we as humans could and should be influencing the tech? This year, we’re looking forward to hosting Kate O’Neill, CEO KO Insights to our P2P Transformation event on 11th June at The Hurlingham Club, where she will be exploring why it’s imperative that we make a conscious effort to grasp the narrative as we head towards an AI augmented future.
