Amid unprecedented change, UG2 is scaling what matters most.
UG2 is moving into the new year with purpose as we continue to expand our footprint and impact.
The past 12 months brought extraordinary organic growth, an ever-deepening bench of expertise, and new customers for us to serve and to learn from. These changes come at a time when our industry, and the world as a whole, are grappling with tectonic changes in technology and innovation.
Many of these technological advances will allow UG2 to deliver on our promises with even higher standards. To do so successfully, we commit to centering our foundational values and the human connections that are at the heart of our success.
Consider artificial intelligence. UG2 has always operated at the leading edge of innovation, but even for our in-house experts, the impact and embrace of AI technologies has been more rapid than anticipated. You’ll read in this blog space how AI is shaping our practices and informing our training and development efforts.
We have approached AI with curiosity and excitement, and our AI task force continues to move forward with intention and pragmatism. What has allowed us to lead the way in doing so is our relationships—continuous conversation with our internal experts, with our outside partners, and with the very customers who entrust their facilities to our care.
After all, we count among our customer base the researchers, academics, and innovators who are leading the charge. Though regular discussion and information sharing, UG2 has benefitted from a front row seat to the way industries are integrating and adapting. Our relationships and human connections are guiding the way forward.
You see this dynamic also in our approach to culture and community. Internally, every decision we contemplate as we expand our reach is guided by a discussion about our company’s culture. How can we impart what we hold most dear to every new person who joins our team? How will we nurture personal connections in every new customer relationship? We recently completed a series of video interviews with our executive team. Every single one of those people who comprise our leadership spoke with passion and emotion about our company culture and about their commitment to preserving it and passing it forward.
We look to the year ahead with a renewed promise to remain citizens of our industry and of our customers’ industries, expanding our impact by remaining true to the values we hold sacred. As UG2 grows, our emphasis on relationships and the human element is shaping the future of the industry for the better—because technology and innovation allow us to excel only when we advance with purpose and commitment to our founding principles, our exceptional culture, and our remarkable UG2 family and community.
