Digital transformation isn't enough. Since 2000, over half the names on the Fortune 500 list no longer exist. The case for Digital Reinvention has arrived. Business journals are full of articles concerning the impact of technology on business. All around us, industries are being altered, and – in many cases – reinvented by the transformative power of digital technologies. To stay ahead, executives are recognising the need to change both what they do and how they do it. But change is not easy. Many companies are failing to adapt fast enough to avoid the negative, and at times dire, impacts of disruption.
This guest presentation will explore the impact of disruption and demonstrate how some organisations across all industries are re-inventing themselves.
