Our Business Analysts play a crucial role in helping Currys work smarter and faster. A key part of that is Process Intelligence: seeing how our teams actually work, not just how processes are meant to work. And using real data to highlight opportunities for change. The team recently got together with Celonis for a Process Intelligence Day, to share ideas and stay ahead of the curve. “It’s great to see how Process Intelligence complements AI to drive real value." says Senior Business Analyst Mayaan (far left of photo). "It plays a critical role in building more adaptive and intelligent operations.” It’s been eye-opening to see how other industries are using AI and data to fix inefficiencies," fellow Analyst Serge (second from right) adds, "and how we can apply those learnings at Currys.” AI is moving fast, and our Business Analyst team is already putting it to work for the benefit of both colleagues and customers.

Our hybrid-working Strategic Change and Tech, Data & Transformation teams recently swapped remote connection for a real-life team takeover at our Waterloo Campus. 🤝 The day featured A Whole Brain Thinking workshop and a marshmallow-and-spaghetti tower building, plus a few competitive rounds of Pétanque! “It’s amazing what simply connecting in person can do to improve your mindset and outlook.” Keith, our Strategic Change and Portfolio Programme Manager, who took this photo, shared this. Working in a hybrid way has so many benefits, but there’s still something special about coming together.

A recent Currys Business networking session at the Village Hotel in Solihull got our colleagues out of store and meeting local organisations doing brilliant work, from supporting neurodivergent individuals to helping people into meaningful employment. "We had the privilege of meeting, and helping, some truly inspiring people who are making a real impact, supporting those with autism and ADHD who may be struggling to find work," says Hashim K, Business Development Manager. Alongside the community conversations, the team also spoke with local businesses about the upcoming transition from Windows 10 to Windows 11 – a key topic for anyone planning ahead in tech for business. It was great to get to know local companies better and help them with their tech needs. Our colleagues had a fantastic day of ideas, insight and connection and kicked off some important new community relationships. And now we all know what Santa does the other 11 months of the year...
What happens when the EFL trophies drop into your store?
