Out of a crisis comes opportunity, say the great thinkers, and we are seeing signs of this in our efforts to roll out an ambitious digital transformation program across Aramco.
We had a target of training 5,000 of our employees in 2020 to improve their awareness of digital processes and applications. Instead, we reached more than double that, with 11,000 people attending courses. Perhaps inspired by their ability to cope with the disruption of switching to remote working, or heartened by their encounters with virtual meetings and other digital services, it seems our employees have opened up to the opportunities that new technologies can bring. Interest levels, training take-up and enthusiasm have all increased.
