In September, our chief executive Sarah Day had the pleasure of attending the Solace Wales Aspiring Leader event, facilitated by Averil Price and hosted by Stable.
Stable’s chief learning officer Matt Munslow and our associate Hannah Thomas shared how we’ve been supporting the use of digital tech in social care in Wales. This was a fantastic opportunity to share our experience around digital transformation, the ethical use of AI, and its potential to support service improvement.
It was a privilege to listen to Stable’s presentation and subsequent conversation about our joint work. The reflections on leading in a digital world and the potential for partnership working were particularly insightful.
It was striking how the challenges and opportunities shared by everyone in the room resonated across directorates and sectors. The themes are familiar regardless of where you work.
There’s a clear energy around the potential of AI, but the core of its success lies in people – people who are knowledgeable, appropriately trained, and confident in using the tools available.
The impact of change is rapid, which is exciting for some and daunting for others. That’s why the work we are doing with Stable matters, helping to create the conditions where people feel safe, supported, and ready to embrace the transformation that digital tech brings.
