In the latest issue of Infrastructure Intelligence magazine, Jacobs People & Places Solutions Senior Vice President Europe Kate Kenny looks at how agility and resilience in our digitally disrupted world rely on smarter software decisions and a strategic investment in employee careers, customer relationships and an inclusive company culture.
Check out page 11 of Infrastructure Intelligence for the full article where Kate highlights that with the increasing rate of change, a partnership is needed to navigate this new world and optimize digital enablement. Employee and customer engagement is key with this. Companies must provide clear leadership strategies and build cultures that support career agility, diversity and talent transformation.
Kate’s biggest takeaway: “You can buy any technology you want, but the only way it will be harnessed effectively is if the right human is behind the controls… By strategically upskilling and empowering people in your organization, you’ll future proof their careers and your company’s success.”
“We’re all still learning important lessons, but to thrive in our new digitally disrupted world, our biggest priority is to upskill and empower employees, and grow stronger customer relationships. ”
