There is a school of thought that says a ‘Digital’ strategy is about as relevant in the modern age as an ‘Electricity’ strategy – but perhaps that is still a bit misleading. For many organisations, transitioning from a focus on internal business processes, using on-premise databases on servers under the stairs – to an omni-channel approach focused on the ‘Customer Experience’ - just sounds like a lot of buzzwords, rather than something readily attainable.

COVID helped digital transformation to become a mainstream trustee topic but exactly what is involved in a digital transformation and where do you start? What does a strategy to transform your organisation look like? In this session we will discuss the key elements to an effective digital strategy and practical ideas for how you can develop one. We’ll hear from leading organisations about where they’ve been successful, where they’ve struggled and how they overcame some of the challenges they faced.
