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The traditional rules and assumptions of business are no longer valid in the new digital economy.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.

EXPONENTIAL TECHNOLOGIES APPLICATION IN BUSINESS Including Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual/Augmented Reality, 3D-Printing, IoT & Sensor Technologies, among others

Over the past decade or so, exponential technologies have triggered shifts in the global business landscape and the world in general. As digital-enabled businesses rise and consumer adoption accelerates, new and transformative technology-based innovations are emerging almost on a daily basis.

This keynote presentation provides an overview of exponential technologies, the impact on society and businesses, as well as real-world and future-focused applications across industries.

Keynote sessions deep-dive into specific technologies and industry focus, upon request.

The role of humans in the Deep Digital Transformation required to build a sustainable and resilient business, is ever more important. In this episode, we talk about Digital Maturity from the mindset point of view. We highlight the broken customer journey in financial services, the shift in values of Millenials, Gen Z and Gen A. Kamales Lardi, believes that the future of business is not just about your company and your offering to customers, it is an ecosystem, a collaborative and co-optive environment which includes suppliers, partners and employees, rather than a competitive one. This is one of several points that she discusses extensively in her upcoming book to be published by Wiley.

How gen-z could force traditional corporate structures to change;

How founders play an incredibly important role when it comes to the culture of their startup;

4 Predictions
Emphasis on the human side of digital transformation and technology

Date : November 17, 2023

As digital transformation in business continues, there will be a greater emphasis on the human side of transformation and technology. Companies will recognize that a positive and engaging work environment is crucial for productivity and innovation. Technology solutions and digital platforms will be used to enhance workplace satisfaction and collaboration. Leaders will need to adapt to a rapidly changing digital landscape, including embracing new technologies, fostering a culture of continuous learning, and leading by example in the digital realm. Leadership styles may shift towards more collaborative and agile approaches. Additionally, digital literacy will become a fundamental skill, just like reading and writing. Employees at all levels will be expected to have a basic understanding of emerging technologies and how they can be applied in their work. Organizational cultures will evolve to prioritize innovation and agility. This means encouraging experimentation, accepting failure as a learning process, and rapidly adapting to changes in the market and technology. Continuous upskilling and reskilling will become a norm. Organizations will invest in training programs to ensure their workforce is equipped with the latest digital skills and knowledge. As automation and AI take over routine tasks, there will be a shift in job roles. The focus will be on roles that require human creativity, empathy, and strategic thinking, which cannot be easily replicated by machines.

Increased business application within the required regulatory framework

Date : October 22, 2023

Generative AI will become even more integrated into our daily lives. From content creation tools, music generation, to personalized shopping experiences, the applications will be vast and more commonly accepted. However, I believe the implementation of regulatory requirements, such as the EU AI Act that will come into affect in 2024, will drive adoption in larger companies that are able to establish the required governance frameworks.

Foundation for success in digital business transformation

Date : October 05, 2022

This past year, I have observed the global business community shift focus towards the next ‘shiny thing’, including Web3, metaverse and virtual digital economies. For most organizations, application of these and other emerging technology solutions will require acceleration of digital business transformation efforts. In 2023, companies will need to focus on establishing the right foundation to ensure sustainable success in more ambitious efforts implementing emerging technology solutions. This includes creating connected experiences with customers, optimizing and digitizing processes and operations, as well as application of data and technology reshape the business for the digital economy. As companies mature in their digital transformation efforts, business leaders will increasingly recognize that success or failure heavily depends on one key element - the people side of the transformation journey.

Shift from exploration to production and scaling

Date : October 07, 2021

Companies will increasingly focus on shifting digital business transformation initiatives from exploration and experimentation to production and scaling solutions across the organization to realize results. In addition, specific emerging technologies solutions will take center stage, including AI-based systems for data analysis and decision-making, augmented reality solutions for customer engagement, employee training, and front-line service efficiency, as well as blockchain, IoT sensors, and 3D printing for additive manufacturing and supply chain optimization.
