Innovation Is Now a Key Factor in the Escalating War for Talent
In today’s transformative and disruptive business environment, companies must focus on innovation if they hope to stay in front of the competition and keep up with the economy’s rapid pace of change. Innovation is often thought of in terms of a technological breakthrough such as artificial intelligence (AI) or the successful integration of a new tool like robotic process automation (RPA).

I was intrigued and flattered by what seemed like a fantastic opportunity to take on a new, more visible and challenging role.
