Digital Transformation Unplugged

Attaining Business Value Through Information Technology

In today’s digital economy, it only requires one brief power or cyber outage to markedly underscore the criticality of technology within most business organisations. And yet, most executives perceive information technology (IT) and systems as a money pit and the leading source of corporate headaches and sleepless nights.

Join us for a half-day event on the 3^rd of October, 2024, during which a number of speakers will present their personal perspective and address the common reasons why IT so often fails to deliver the expected business value to the organisation, clients and other stakeholders.

The agenda will also address different strategies aimed towards maximising business value and bottom-line revenue.

Join us on October 3
