THE END OF 'BUSINESS AS USUAL': How to Accelerate Digital Transformation in Business
The traditional rules and assumptions of business are no longer valid in the new digital economy. Emerging technologies have triggered a shift in the global consumer market, resulting in the urgent need for brands to adopt transformative approaches to customer engagement, organization structures, and business models. In addition, the recent Covid-19 pandemic has further accelerated market shifts towards digital engagement.
In her keynote presentation, Kamales awakens curiosity and widens perspectives on the latest trends and technologies impacting the traditional business landscape, and motivates audiences to explore innovative approaches that accelerate success in digital business transformation.
THE HUMAN SIDE OF TRANSFORMATION
People are the most powerful drivers of transformation. As companies increasingly adopt digital solutions and emerging technologies to drive productivity, innovation, and revenue, the risk of losing touch with the people who drive the business success grows. Culture change and empathetic leadership will be the defining element that could spell success for digital business transformation.
This keynote presentation highlights effective approaches to identify behaviors, mindsets, and skills required to realize successful digital business transformation in traditional organizations.

Digital Transformation: How to develop strategy under uncertainty
linkedin
March 02, 2020
In today’s business environment ‘digital transformation’ is a well-known and much-hyped concept. Disruption, triggered by rapid development and adoption of technology, has undoubtedly impacted the global business landscape. However, digital transformation goes beyond updating technology implementation or engaging with customers on digital channels. It drives organization-wide change that impacts revenue, operations, culture and people. Many organizations understand the need to change how they work and have embarked on numerous initiatives, yet few have been able to go beyond isolated success cases or marginal benefits. Many leadership teams are still hesitant to invest in digital transformation without clearly defined returns on investment.
Digital Disruption: Age of the empathetic leader
linkedin
January 28, 2019
In the 1957 movie Desk Set, employees of the Federal Broadcasting Network faced fears of being replaced by two computers that are intended to simplify their work and improve productivity. The team, a group of female research whizzes with encyclopedic brains and the skills to find any information requested by callers, are in danger of being replaced by an ‘electronic’ brain a.k.a computer. Set against the budding love between Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, the romantic comedy gives us a flashback of how leadership teams dealt with transformation in past years. The ‘higher-ups’ carried out transformation initiatives, while employees typically were left in the dark. The movie plot was based on the emergence of commercial use of computers in the late 1950s, their installation in offices usually resulting in layoffs.
