Summary

Digital@scale 2018

The term “Digital Transformation” – whilst overused – is well understood across traditional business sectors. The pace of transformation is possibly being debated, but not the principle itself. There is no doubt that embedding digital technology across the entire business is paramount – and that this large change program is challenging.

Digital@Scale is a morning event where senior leaders within digital, technology and change roles will share their experiences and offer “real world” guidance for those facing disruptive competition. For senior leaders facing these challenges across so many organisations - we are sure that the collective wisdom and expertise assembled will help you “move the needle”.
