In the beginning of the pandemic, digital acceleration was a way to allow remote work and ensure business continuity. More than two years later, research indicates that organizations now see digital acceleration as a more permanent fixture in the business landscape. In a Harvard Business Review Analytic Services survey, 91% of IT executives said they plan to maintain the faster speed of digital transformation—or possibly increase it—even after the pandemic ends. Now, IT leaders have a powerful role in rethinking the nature of work, allowing hybrid teams to thrive, and setting a new precedent for digital innovation across their organizations.
During this session, we’ll dive into four focus areas for CIOs and IT leaders as they work toward driving greater flexibility, resilience, and momentum for digital transformation. From reimagining work, to building digital acumen across the enterprise, to creating more agile operating models, discover what leading CIOs say they’re prioritizing.
During this discussion, you’ll learn:
- How to sustain digital transformation speed while fighting burnout and strengthening organizational resilience
- How to increase digital acumen throughout the organization to create a more diverse, future-ready workforce
- How to create more agile operating models and build a hybrid work culture that prioritizes human connection
