Be open to new discoveries
We couldn’t have planned this journey.
It takes time to create a sense of community.
The evolution was driven by changes in the technology & social landscapes - as well as listening to our customers conversations.
We committed dedicated resources to fuel this.
We have kept Community Engagement at the heart of all business activities.
