The last years have tested us in many dimensions, making technological transformation and innovation more relevant than before. However, technological transformation has become too digital for its own sake. This talk focuses on unleashing the full potential of the combined dynamics among strategies, organizational and cultural assets, and mindsets to create digitally-driven disruptive change. Participants will get a blueprint for understanding the causes of failure and designing and executing a disruption-oriented navigation map focused on high-impact challenges grounded on tangible and intangible assets.
