Organised by

WST and UCD Agile

Work Smarter Together (WST) is focused on the broad community of those who make the operation of the University possible. WST’s roots stretch back to 2011 and from 2015 UCD Agile is sponsoring Work Smarter Together as part of Agile’s contribution to the university community.

UCD Agile is sponsoring Work Smarter Together for one clear reason – Agile’s ‘agility and effectiveness’ agenda resonates clearly with working smarter together. Part of Agile’s remit is to be a broad support for the people who make the University work and WST is an excellent example of how their creativity and energy has been recognised and celebrated in the past, one which emerged from within the UCD community.
