The Business Innovation Forum is an annual conference that aims to share perspectives on: how innovation is helping organizations drive new outcomes and business value; how digital technologies can be used to support and multiply innovation efforts, and most importantly the need for creating an innovation focused work culture.
For 2019, the theme of the event is The Future of Work is Agile.
The Future of Work (FoW) is not an end. Rather, it is a journey with the end-state constantly in flux. Successful FoW strategies are underpinned by a holistic transformation across the three dimensions of: workspace, workforce and workculture. This transformation should focus on reinventing the way businesses engage not just their with customers, but also their employees and partners, who will help them drive sustained competitive advantage.
FoW strategies are not easy to implement. Several organizations are already embarking on their FoW journey, but face challenges such as change management, security and privacy issues, and a lack of digital skills that are delaying or even derailing transformation efforts. To overcome these barriers, organizations need to inculcate an experience-centric approach and an innovation-focused mindset, through new partnerships, built on the foundation of trust, open ecosystem collaborations, and by utilizing design thinking, agile and DevOps practices.
The FoW learning curve for organizations is steep, but the journey promises to be fascinating and rewarding. Join us at this year’s Business Innovation Forum, where we will explore:
