This 3-hour event is the first in a series of seminars from Tizbi® and its partners. We invite area executives and business leaders to learn from industry experts and peers:
What is "Digital Transformation" and how is it impacting my industry?
How can IT become better aligned with the needs of the business?
How can my IT organization drive innovation and enable new streams of revenue?
How does a business add a software development capability to the IT team?
Is my existing team of developers following contemporary industry standards?
You'll take away valuable strategic insights as well as practical tips that can be applied immediately in your organization. Connect with fellow business leaders to discuss the challenges we face and the opportunities hidden within - all in a comfortable, no-sales-pitches-allowed setting. There will be plenty of time for networking with your peers, and a gourmet lunch is provided.
