"Our partnership with industry leaders such as Workato represents our commitment to ensure our curriculum would be industry relevant and future ready, so as to empower both students and adult learners with skills and knowledge that align with current industry trends," said David Pooi, Course Chair of Specialist Diploma in Enhanced Human Resource Skills at Singapore Polytechnic. "Amid a competitive global market, it is crucial that our graduates are not just academically proficient but also equipped with industry ready skills. Through such partnerships, our goal is to ensure that students not only find meaningful careers but also contribute to organizational success by unlocking unique value through the use of automation."
"The New Automation Mindset" is currently on sale at Kinokuniya and provides invaluable insights on navigating the complex world of automation and technology in the age of artificial intelligence. The book will be formally launched at Automate Asia 2023, Workato's third annual customer and partner conference and the first in-person Automate conference in Singapore. This event is held on October 3 at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay.
Vijay Tella, co-founder, and CEO of Workato, said: "Last year, we introduced the idea of The New Automation Mindset, this end-to-end approach to automating at scale across the enterprise. Since then, The New Automation Mindset has evolved into a leadership blueprint for this era of AI-for-all.
"At this year's Automate conference, we are thrilled to be bringing this new way of thinking about AI, Automation, and Integration to the main stage and learning directly from the people leading this movement. Automate 2023 will be a chance for us to put a focus on automation that helps innovate the future rather than automating the past."
