To inspire you with the possibilities of Augmented reality (AR), we developed an AR-hunt game where you scan images scattered in the office in the hopes of collecting "AR bots." This game is similar to that of "Pokemon Go."

The Future of Work
The digital age brings significant changes to the workplace, particularly through automation and AI. For the future of work, we focused on the impacts of technology, emphasizing the shifting demands in outsourcing and consulting.
The benefits of this technology adoption include increased efficiency, improved decision-making, cost savings, and a competitive advantage for both CGI and its clients.
Part of our innovation culture is to strive to remain at the forefront of industry trends, maximizing AI and automation benefits for all our stakeholders. We aim to balance human skills with automation, ensuring fairness and transparency in AI systems, and equipping members for the changing landscape.

Tech for Good
We innovate to further add value to our clients, members, shareholders, and most especially to our communities where we live and work. This year, we also focused on how technology can play a huge role in contributing to marginalized groups, and other communities by hearing from our very own partner organizations: The Build for Life Foundation, BANTU, Solar Hope, Scholars of Sustenance, and Haribon Foundation.
