  • Digital Transformation: Part I

    Digital transformation – the people, process and cultural challenges for your business.

    Digital technologies have become a standard part of IT leaders’ strategies – but becoming a digital business is about much more than the technology. To successfully disrupt your business through digital transformation you need to evolve your people, processes and corporate culture – and often, these are the real barriers to overcome.

    In this presentation from our CW500 event, director of digital architecture and transformation Chris Boyd explains how Telefonica tackled the challenges of delivering people, cultural and organisational change.

  • Smarter, connected meeting spaces

    Mobile technology, from laptops to tablets and smartphones, provides any employee with information at their fingertips, but the real value of information comes from sharing and working with others – collaboration.

    Bringing what is now a diversity of devices into meeting rooms means trying to connect to various screens and projectors and often sharing with remote participants. This is rarely simple, more often becoming a mess of connectors, cables, projector setup and application complexity.

    All too often, time is wasted or help has to be called in to set something up – leading to delays and, ultimately, costs. It does not need to be like this.
