Technology is everywhere and unavoidable. As such, this session will focus squarely on how leaders are transforming their businesses, others and themselves for a digital world. Jeremy will present brand new research into how leaders are doing in this context, based on feedback from over 2000 leaders across 4 regions and over 20 countries, including the UK. Jeremy will summarise the headline data and will make this highly interactive through live surveying in the room, as a comparison to the global research results.
Jeremy will also summarise:
- The challenges organisations are facing in accelerating the digital transformation in the year ahead.
- The most critical factors for senior leaders and board members to note and embrace.
- A deep dive into the data and the hard-won insights with examples of leaders and organisations successfully transforming for a digital world
