MORNING MASTERCLASSES

Our masterclasses are designed to help you redefine your vision and figure out what the next steps are to realise new opportunities. Join senior business leaders across industries, as we dive into new practices and lessons learnt from subject matter experts, alongside interactive discussion zones tailored to maximise insight.

Masterclass 1
Restructuring Data Strategy

As market landscapes change quickly, organisations need fast and accurate data to facilitate rapid response. However, many organisations are not positioned or prepared to enact long-term change. We examine how technologies and methods can play a key role in driving business results and solutions to data access and delivery, and how to reposition your data strategy for the long-term.

Denodo    Privitar

 

Masterclass 2
Innovation Evolution

Innovation has dramatically changed, both in process and outcome. Many projects have been accelerated due to increased urgency for business response, but others have fallen by the wayside due to cut budgets. We map out the evolution of innovation, and deepdive into the newest forms of innovation practice that now dominate the business world.

Masterclass 3
Mastering the Digital Consumer

Customers are expecting more from their interactions with businesses. In uncertain times, behaviours and needs are changing fast, leading to surges in new and complex queries. Delivering a seamless experience is vital to ensure customers stick with you. But how does customer experience change when we participate increasingly in a virtual world? We explore how to keep your digital strategy customer-centric, not channel-centric.

Sabio & Twilio 

Masterclass 4
The Automation Imperative

The recent health crisis has forced companies to accelerate digital transformation. Automating key business processes can see an average cost saving of 20%, and when it comes to operating through crisis, it is vital to create rapid productivity gains without adding costly staff resources. We explore how to future-proof your business through automation for near-term customer experience improvements and long-term growth.

Conexiom-1-1

Masterclass 5
Building an Agile & Adaptive Business

COVID-19 has forced a rethink of priorities on an unprecedented scale as industries adapt to major shifts in behaviour. What comes next?
Agile and dynamic organisations will emerge stronger. Businesses need to seek out ways to remain resilient and find their position for growth, and IT leaders are central to this change. Discover actionable steps to embed new foundations for agility and growth.

AGENDA

With uncertainty defining the moment, business and technology leaders are pivoting fast to respond to changing landscapes. However, without the full picture, they are balancing the dangers of risk with the need for survival. At Chief Disruptor LIVE: Virtual, we drill into how businesses should be redefining their vision to stay afloat and the digital imperatives for long-term impact and lasting change. While our masterclasses give you the chance to dig deep into a certain topic, our keynotes and panels explore the major issues that every business leader must be cognizant of in 2021.
