Purpose and Impact

New technologies are reshaping the fabric of global business around us. Leaders today face the challenge of navigating—and building—complex digital ecosystems that span customers, suppliers, partners, and communities worldwide.

Digital Agility in Global Markets is a focused workshop designed to equip managers and executives with the strategic frameworks and insight needed to thrive in digitally-centric markets. Working through real-world case examples of successful (and unsuccessful) digital transformation, you will explore your organization’s competitive positioning in a global market and map the likely impacts of disruption in your industry.

Align your strategic decisions with global market dynamics, accelerate innovation at scale by leveraging emerging technologies, and recognize the 'signal' amidst the 'noise' of technological change. This workshop offers an essential opportunity for leaders to enhance digital resilience while boosting their organizational readiness to capitalize on any technology trend. Only by understanding the intersection between digitalization and globalization can you shift your leadership mindset from reacting to anticipating.
