Workshop 1: Telecoms for HR and Training Managers

In this workshop we explore telecoms from both a business and technology perspective, highlighting key areas of focus – as well as the evolutionary and revolutionary forces at play in the industry. We look to expand knowledge and understanding of the changing customer-base and customer proposition; the changing nature of the business; the changing technology on which our business is based; and finally the changing nature of the skill sets, attitude, and motivations needed to ensure the business thrives.
