Digital transformation is not simply about technology—it requires business and government leaders to re-envision existing business models and embrace a different way of bringing together people, data, and processes to create value for their customers. The challenges facing businesses today are very familiar: engaging customers, empowering employees, optimizing operations, and transforming products.
What has changed is the unique convergence of increasing volumes of data from the digitization of our lives, the advancements in analytics and machine intelligence and the ubiquity of cloud computing which has shifted customer expectations and offers businesses opportunities to surpass those expectations and reinvent the value they offer.
This presentation explores the journey Microsoft is on with various different organisations from around the world as they Digitally Transform.
