Building an Enterprise for the World Ahead

(Episode #5)

Tuesday, April 27, 2021

10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. EST

It is not a question whether digital transformation will come, but when and how. For many companies, the pandemic was a wake up call. In the new digital economy, many enterprises won’t succeed by merely tweaking the management practices that led to past success. To thrive in a digitized universe, businesses of all sizes need to reinvent themselves. Yet leaders often lack a common language to assess the degree of threat digital disruption poses to their business, and—more importantly—the language to create a compelling vision for their enterprise’s success.

Accelerated Digital Transformation –

Where will we land?

(Episode #6)

Wednesday, April 28, 2021

10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. EST

In April Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said: “We’ve seen two years’ worth of digital transformation in two months,” as companies adapt to stay open for business “in a world of remote everything.” What did your company do to adapt to the pandemic and how well has it worked? Will these accelerated changes remain in place in 2021 and beyond?
