To achieve a data culture, organisations need to understand the emotions involved with a culture change. Listen to Heather unpack her key themes as she shares:

SPREADING HOPE & OPTIMISM – COME BUILD WITH US
Wednesday night keynote & networking event 6 – 7pm
SolarBuddy is dedicated to providing innovative solar solutions to 6 million children living in energy poverty by 2030 so they can study after dusk and improve their education outcomes.
800 million people worldwide still do not have access to modern electricity. This means that when the sun goes down, they’re reliant on dangerous and unhealthy energy like kerosene, diesel, wood, candles or battery powered torches, which is expensive and unhealthy for people and the planet.
At the Mastering SAP JumpStart on Wednesday evening 20th July, our great friends and partners, Think180, have made it possible for us to each build a solar energy pack that will spread hope and illuminate the future of a child and their family.
