Jane Gibbs, Head of Talent and Development, Adecco

A key part of The Adecco Group’s digital strategy is to get more out of our BI systems and really use the wealth of data that’s available. This is only possible if we build data literacy at scale.
Our people need to be confident enough to understand the data, handle it securely and use that information to inform business decisions. The Corndel model works brilliantly for our learners."
