Michael Wade's 2024 talks & topics

DX in post Corona world

The post-Corona world has amplified the importance of DX, but changed it as well. I have spoken a lot about how digital tools and technologies can positively impact organizational performance. This is still true today. However, the world has changed and the objectives of organizations have changed along with it. In this session, I will speak about new ways in which DX can add value to organizations. I will look at the link between digital and organizational responsiveness and resilience in the face of global and regional shocks such as pandemics, geopolitics, natural disasters, and cybercrime. I will also cover the link between digital and sustainability, wellness, and the achievement of ethical and social goals.
