Why you should listen

Digital leaders are pulling ahead, and their competitors need to catch up. More than half of companies across industries report a need for significant and urgent change in at least one major domain, which is translating into rapid growth for enterprise technology platform providers like Oracle, SAP, Salesforce, Microsoft and Workday.

However, McKinsey research reveals that 50% of large technology transformations fail to realise even half of the identified business benefits. It is no wonder that senior executives are beginning to ask hard questions about business value.

In this workshop, Bjørnar Jensen will introduce you to McKinsey’s latest thinking on how to deliver business value from technology transformation. The session is particularly valuable for business leaders who are considering or in the early stages of a technology-enabled business transformation. Get to know the ten levers that you as a business leader can make use of to ensure that your business benefits fully from the investment.

Bjørnar is a partner in McKinsey Digital in Zürich. He advises a number of large multinationals and domestic leaders in the Swiss market in the areas of digital transformation and business model innovation. He has experience from a range of industries and markets.
