- Digital Transformation: The Bear in the Room - The pandemic means there has never been a better time to invest in digital, but too many company leaders waste their innovation attempts on ‘elephant in the room’ type problems. To create innovations that actually matter, you have to tackle the ‘bear in the room’. In this talk based on her internationally acclaimed book Digital Transformation, Lindsay will share three critical rules for spotting the bears from the elephants and achieving real innovation success. For each rule, she’ll share transformation stories to illustrate the practical next steps needed now and beyond the pandemic. With a focus on how organisations need to respond to the Covid crisis, Lindsay will reveal her own hard-won innovation lessons, as well as those from company leaders across different sectors tackling bears worldwide.
