Tangent

We have lift off on our second Hackathon! 🚀👽☄️ We brought together specialists in AI, design, tech, project management, strategy and consultancy from across Tangent's global workforce to bring 8 new digital products to life in just one day. 👀👍 We dedicated the day to innovation around AI and solving client problems, and you can take a look at highlights from day complete with commentary from Nadine Clarke, Leigh Gammons, Andrew K. Aidoo, Sian McLachlan and Federico Corradi.

Nadine Clarke, Leigh Gammons and James Scott-Flanagan were spotted recently on the other side of the Atlantic. 🇺🇸 This dream team went to Chicago last week to meet with clients and consult on business solutions. In between all the hard work, they still found some time to do some sightseeing (aka running). Just another way we’re (literally) going the extra mile for our clients. 🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃

Our recent work with Reed has been nominated for Best Website at the National Online Recruitment Awards! 💥 Together, we created a new Careers website to showcase Reed’s unique opportunities, highlight open roles, and share inspiring employee testimonials about life at Reed. This project has been in the works for some time, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. It’s exciting to see this work recognised by NORA and we're hopeful for a win at the ceremony!

Our Head of AI, Łukasz Mądrzak-Wecke had the privilege to deliver a lecture to students at Poznan University of Technology on the evolution and future of AI. The session explored the foundations of AI, examined emerging trends, and discussed whether large language models may plateau in the near future. Łukasz highlighted AI's impact on the computer science industry and how at Tangent we are taking advantage of AI to prepare businesses for future challenges. Thanks to the students for their engagement and thoughtful discussions! Exciting times ahead! 🚀

As part of our ongoing commitments to planet and purpose, our team in Valencia took advantage of the great weather and took some time to give back to the community. Partnering with Cruz Roja Española (Red Cross) they went to the Valencia Albufeira and cleaned this beautiful natural space from plastics and other debris. Home to many birds and marine species, the Albufeira is considered one of the most important green spaces of the Autonomous Region of Valencia and we were happy to spare some time in keeping it looking its best! An important morning for all that ended with a big portion of paella! 🥘
