      Change the way you change - Digitisation must be disruptive
      • Yara Molthan, Director Business Consulting
      Traditional companies often still have a hard time with the topic of Digitisation and Transformation. Trial&Error and Agility are often found in PowerPoint presentation but are rarely put into practice. Often organisations cling to comprehensively prepared “concept papers”, which delay the implementation. Meanwhile, the (digital) competition has long kicked off the next idea and creates decisive competitive advantages. This session uses practical examples to show how a rapid validation of new concepts can be achieved and implemented.
