• Examine the impact of digital transformation on the organization, from the effect of digital tactics on customer experience (CX) to the value of integrating internal digital strategies to facilitate collaboration and innovation

• Guide aspiring leaders on how to combine core values and business goals with progressive digital strategies, tactics, and tools to generate sustainable outcomes for all stakeholders
