In this second of our 5-part mini-series, where we celebrate Star Wars month by bringing lessons from that galaxy far, far away, we explore ideas for engaging teams to open their hearts and minds to new and emerging tech.
For as every avid Star Wars fan knows: rather than the 'extras' the Droids are the constant in the storyline - and give the humans the consistency, benchmark and mirror to their own drama.
We take inspiration from the unsung heroes of Star Wars—the droids! From R2-D2 to BB-8, these loyal sidekicks are masters of support, adaptability, and keeping things moving behind the scenes. We explore:
- How to introduce tech in a way that supports (not overwhelms) your people
- The importance of emotional intelligence in digital transformation
- How staying purpose-led helps teams adopt change with confidence
Because in a fast-moving world, it's not just about the tech—it’s about the people using it.
