Purpose and Impact

New technologies are reshaping the fabric of global business around us. Leaders today face the challenge of navigating—and building—complex digital ecosystems that span customers, suppliers, partners, and communities worldwide.

Digital Agility in Organizations is a focused workshop designed to equip managers and executives with the strategic frameworks and insight needed to thrive in digitally-centric markets. Working through real-world case examples of successful (and unsuccessful) digital transformation, you will explore your organization’s competitive positioning in a global market and map the likely impacts of disruption in your industry.

This workshop offers an essential opportunity for leaders to enhance digital resilience while boosting their organizational readiness to capitalize on any technology trend. Only by understanding the intersection between digitalization and globalization can you shift your leadership mindset from reacting to anticipating.
