The Culture of the United Kingdom

The United Kingdom’s size belies its achievements. It has a long and storied history as a leader of innovation. As a set of small island nations, the United Kingdom has always taken its place in the world not through the production of mass tangible goods but in the thought leadership and prestige that comes with being best-in-class.

Joining the team to tap into the United Kingdom’s vibrant Cloud Culture are Lizzie Donnachie, a Microsoft Product Marketing Director, and Kwadwo (Kojo) Benko, a Microsoft Digital Lead, both based in the United Kingdom. With their help, we will uncover the essence of the United Kingdom’s digital transformation and explore the region’s spirited technology landscape.
