The Digital Transformation Award recognises businesses at the cutting edge of digital design and use of technologies who are boosting Staffordshire’s growing reputation as a digital hub. Judged on compelling examples of how digital technology has been used to transform business processes, customer experience or to create exciting, effective campaigns.
Before 2021, Healthwatch Stoke-on-Trent relied heavily upon face-to-face engagement and had a narrow digital presence with a limited digital audience. As a result of the Coronavirus Pandemic limitations, we adapted our business model from traditional methods, such as face-to-face engagement, to evolve and thrive in a digital age to provide the public with reliable, accurate, and up-to-date information in the face of the growing presence of fake news.
Elizabeth Learoyd, Managing Director of ECS said, 'We are delighted to be recognised amongst a plethora of great companies that are driving Digital Transformation in Stoke-on-Trent. This award is a testament to the fantastic commitment of the ECS team in supporting residents city-wide during periods of limited face-to-face interaction, through our Digil channels. My thanks to the amazing people we work with, those who have supported us to date, our wonderful partners and of course to our brilliant team here at Healthwatch Stoke-on-Trent. Importantly, it validates our mission to ensuring the voices of those who use public services are at the forefront of service design and delivery.”
