First, what is digitalization in my mind

BUILDING GROWTH AND COMPETITIVE EDGE
WITH DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
CEO’s modern toolbox for better strategies and more efficient execution
Leadership challenge, not a technology problem
A transition to the digital economy, not an IT-project
Industries are transforming, companies must follow

“We had a vision of a smart product and data-driven business already
five years ago. Back then, we lacked the money and the courage to act
on it. Now, there are other competitors vying for the same market, and

years? What digital skills and processes are needed?

needs a quick tour to
digitalization that
consists of
indisputable
examples and
