This month at Peak: March 2021
By Jon Taylor on March 31, 2021This month we launched our Un_learn campaign. It's all about forgetting everything that they taught you in business school. There’s a new game in town, and it’s time to Un_learn what you think you already know about AI.
Businesses that make great decisions win. But making great decisions, all the time, isn’t easy. It means doing things differently, and being ahead of the game. No one wants to be one of those companies who look back and think about “what could have been.” We’ve pulled together this blog to give you a quick overview of what we’ve been up to – learn more about the new campaign, read some new content, and catch up on the latest Peak news!
