The essential role of education in creating a sustainable digital transformation.
Digital transformation is creating an industrial disruption point in the evolution of global economies. One use case is the telecom sector where network operators have a unique chance to drive cross-the-board industrial change. This opportunity requires new mindsets and skillsets to sustain that successful transformation. Educational institutions are also transforming to create that environment for sustainability.
