EVENT: Insider roundtable: Gaining the edge with digital

15 July, 2020

Times: 11:00 – 13:30 BST

Back to Events

Embracing completely new technology often comes with the expectation that there will be a high price tag, a steep learning curve, and long payback times. But if there was an opportunity to improve competitiveness and productivity through the better use of technology and digital skills, the benefits must surely outweigh the barriers?

THE DISCUSSION

The debate will discuss the importance and challenges of digital transformation, planning, and digital strategy.

  • What does digital transformation mean to you?
  • How has the recent Covid-19 crisis accelerated your plans for digital adoption/transformation?
  • How should you prioritise your investment in digital?
  • Why digital transformation is everyone’s responsibility
  • What are the main blockers why do some digital transformation projects stall?
