March 25 – 28, 2018 — JW Marriott Hotel Miami, Miami, FL.
While the overall theme of our CIO, CISO, CDO and CMO Digital Transformation Summits was “digital transformation is a journey, not a destination”, a sub theme that arose was the importance of storytelling.
A journey can be long and arduous, but also can be an exciting adventure. The ability to understand and communicate a compelling story about a company traveling upon its digital transformation journey can be a rallying cry for the entire organization. In addition, we discussed how digital transformation requires speed and agility. Speed requires trust. Trust requires us to engage not only boards and other senior leaders, but also those who will be implementing the key projects that comprise the digital transformation journey. Engaging requires us to be great story tellers of WHY – “Why we need to do what needs to be done.”
Thanks to all who participated but a special note of thanks to our MC Vivian Schneck-Last and our many presenters and panelists.
We are confident that you created new connections with your peers, uncovered one or more new ideas that will impact your digital transformation efforts and found several new solution providers that can help your achieve your goals. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
