How digital is transforming the role of IT - Leading with digital 



Digital is rewriting the playbook of both business and IT. With the right digital technologies, firms can develop new business models, find new revenue streams, deliver exceptional customer experience and optimize business operations. This, however, means entering an arena where digital adversaries have the capacity and sophistication to cause major disruptions in business operations and affect bottom line performance. Internet start-ups are outperforming traditional players thanks to technological advantages, deep data insight and a culture where agility rules and innovation is business as usual. 

This seminar gives you a unique insight into the new forces at play in a digital-first world. It provides practical guidance on how to start up the much-needed transformation and scale for growth in an online world. It will help you navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of disruptive technologies, innovative business models, new job descriptions and emerging organisational designs. 


Key topics include 



  • Why digital is a board imperative 
  • Meet your disruptors: the rise of the billion dollar start-ups
  • The new role of IT: bringing agility to the enterprise
  • How to set up a digital transformation program

Embracing trends like mobile, social, cloud and big data extends well beyond the IT organisation.

It demands a new set of (digital) capabilities, convergence of functions, new investments and forces business and IT leaders to reinvent the very foundations of their organisations.
