NAVIGATING THE LEADER-SHIP

22ND JUNE | THE FUTURE WAVES OF TECH LEADERS


The pandemic has presented an opportunity for businesses to reprioritize their approach to incorporating technology. Digital expenditure is estimated to grow significantly in the coming years and this reveals that both public and private sectors are increasingly committed to their digital transformation journey.

A continuous recalibration of the digital road map, innovation and digital resiliency will be crucial to navigating the ongoing disruption. At this year's IDC LIVE CIO Singapore, leaders will be equipped with in-depth knowledge on key drivers that will alter the global business ecosystem and necessary tools on how to steer the company’s digital transformation journey.



23RD JUNE | RIDING THE WAVES OF INDUSTRY CHANGE


The wave of transformational change is shifting to an embedded approach to digital. As we look into 2022 and beyond, organizations have to capitalize on current technology investments and map the future. Our research has shown three overarching themes that apply across all industries – transformation, trust, and sustainability.

IDC LIVE Industry Day will identify key drivers of change within specific industry sectors. Covering the strategic outlook, bringing to it actionable tactical data and discussion, exploring the process changes and the enabling of disrupting technology. A combination of research findings, coupled with practitioner insight, the sessions will provide direction on what is changing, and on how to change.






Drivers

IDC has identified seven key drivers that will dramatically alter the global IT business ecosystem for the next 12–24 months and beyond.

Velocity of Connectedness


The velocity of connectedness has changed how people socialize, shop, learn, work, and collaborate, creating a rich, seamless, immediate, and interoperable experience, regardless of the location of people and data.

Digital Ecosystem


Becoming a digital business requires a shift from traditional, linear processes that start and end in the organization toward platform-based, data-driven value chains that link to external partner ecosystems.

Intelligence on Demand


Many organizations are drowning in data they are collecting but not using, focusing on the immediacy, not the importance, of data.

Cybersecurity and Risks


Ransomware, phishing, email compromise, insider threats, and nation-state attacks are increasingly common events that cause significant disruptions, high costs, and reputational damage.

Environment and Social Responsibility


Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) is a dominant trend that influences investments and capital allocations in many global economies.

Workforce Outlook


A heightened focus on the employee experience is driving momentum for digital collaboration and hybrid models of work that enable employees to function both remotely and from company facilities.

Customer Engagement


The COVID-19 pandemic has changed what customers care about and how consumers and brands engage and interact.

How to Keep Customers Coming Back in Times of Rapid Change

Daniel-Zoe Jimenez

Associate Vice President, Digital Transformation (DX), Future Enterprise, and SMB, IDC Asia/Pacific

Malcolm Koh

Customer Experience Strategist APAC, Zendesk

Customers are the reason why we are in business. And while developing and selling a good product or service is critical, that’s only half the battle. What’s really needed is delivering great customer experiences that keep customers getting back. However, doing so in this day and age where there is a huge range of options and customers are increasingly fickle it’s challenging – particularly for those organizations that aren’t agile enough and have not shifted to digital-first.

The pandemic changed how we live, work, and engage with one another, and soon it became obvious that many organizations had done little to build out good customer engagement models – underscoring the importance of establishing loyalty through contextually relevant, differentiated experiences to ensure business success.

 

So, to thrive in today’s environment, organizations need to accelerate their digitalization to become agile and adaptable, as well as need to redefine their customer engagement strategies holistically. But, how should we do that effectively and what’s needed?

Connecting the Dots: From Cybersecurity to Resilience

Digital infrastructure has moved from a purely on-premise play to a multi-hybrid cloud mix, in order to allow organization to make the most of the flexibility and scale that cloud offers.

 

Security, as always, is a late follower in such technological shifts and as many organizations transition from cloud adoption to cloud operations, there is an opportunity to get ahead of the curve and make strategic, not tactical decisions around security technologies that can protect the hybrid cloud environment.
