What's it About?
Anyone responsible for running a business or organisation in the Digitally Transformed world is under increasing pressure to “Go Digital”. This is true whether your organisation is a spaza shop or a multi-national corporation, or whether you are in the public or private sector.
“How do we leverage digital technologies?” is the question being asked by everyone tasked with running a business in the 2020s. “Where do we start? What are the risks and how do we mitigate against them?”
In this Webinar we will focus attention on the digital technologies that can be deployed to support digital transformation. Many business executives most fear the costs, timelines and risks associated with technology adoption when planning digital transformation projects.
