This strategy reflects Capgemini’s commitment to adapting to the dynamics of the knowledge economy, ensuring competitiveness in the IT industry.
By prioritising these areas, Capgemini aims to future-proof its workforce, delivering innovative solutions to clients and sustaining its position as a leading global professional services and IT consulting company.
