@CjColclough: "There is a need to break the monopolisation of truth about who holds all the data.
There is a lack of data awareness and understanding with ordinary people, and @WeClockIt is working to help people better understand data about them." #ODISummit2021
@CjColclough startet mit ihrem Pitch zu @WeClockIt. Eine App die #Beschäftigten einen Reality Check geben soll und ihre #ArbeitsZeit wieder aneignen soll.
