In many industries, operational IT have a legacy of executing rather than initiating digital innovation efforts. To fully realize digital transformation at scale, however, deeply savvy technologists who understand emerging technologies, agile product development, data engineering, scalability and security must be part of design and business planning from the very beginning. And with data and software an increasingly pervasive part of every aspect of business, a substantial part of IT’s future role in corporations will change.

    This workshop will explore the following questions, with a focus on personal takeaways both for corporate IT professionals and the agencies / vendors who partner with them:

    Key takeaways:

  • What are the unique skills and perspectives that IT brings to digital transformation?
  • What are some of the key changes that corporate IT must make?
  • How will IT, “Business” and digital providers interact in future?
  • How does IT balance the operational and innovation requirements?
