In the session we will look at how organisations can leverage diversity, data and technology to create the right culture for businesses to thrive as well as the challenges encountered and how they are dealt with on the path to digital transformation.
The speakers will share their personal experiences and up-to-date case studies of how businesses are navigating the rapid pivot to digitalisation and what it takes to succeed.
Lyndsey Jones, former executive editor at the FT, and Balvinder Powar, Adjunct Professor and business mentor, are co-authors of the forthcoming book “Going Digital: What it takes to make the change” to be published by Pearson and FT Publishing next year.
Join us to learn and move forward together.
