Perspectives from leadership

“If we could digitise everything overnight, in 5 key sectors, we could add £168bn to the UK economy. The biggest gating factor is not the technology itself. Those solutions exist today. The biggest gating factor is that there aren’t enough skills to help imagine, design and implement the solutions. This programme represents an important contribution to Cisco’s commitment to close that skills gap. It’s a win-win all around."

David Meads, Cisco CEO UKI
