Virtual Roundtable: The Secret to Successful Transformation Now and After COVID-19

Setting the Scene

The Agile momentum is stalling. Lack of relevant skills and experience, failure to communicate and collaborate with business units, and mounting pressure on IT to deliver faster time-to-market are among the most cited issues. Organisations are also failing to commercialise and scale pilots of promising innovations. Welcome to the reality of digital transformation – where 70% failure is the norm according to McKinsey.

Businesses with digital transformation (DX) agendas are focusing on several technologies and ideas at the same time in search of the right mix that will create new business models that deliver the desired outcomes – operational efficiencies and sustained positive customer experience that lead to profitable revenue.

So why are DX initiatives still not achieving the desired success? Gartner suggests they fail to consider adopting a platformification-based business model. Neither new nor untested, platformification elevates the economic benefits of cloud and other technologies into a sustainable strategy for growth and innovation.

This 20^th of August 2020, CXOCIETY/FutureCIO, in partnership with OutSystems, will host a roundtable discussion to uncover the challenges severely limiting IT’s ability to:

• Unhinging from legacy systems, thinking and processes from well-entrenched operational mindsets
• Accelerate digital transformation in the post-COVID-19 normal through a platformification business model
• Position IT as architects of business value

Join us in what we expect will be the most stimulating and rewarding discussion on how IT leadership can finally lead the transformation journey post pandemic crisis, and future disruptions still to come.
