Chief Digital Officer Australia Summit
It’s clear that COVID-19 changed customer behaviors and stakeholder expectations. As a result, Australian are transforming business strategies, organizational structures, distribution and customer engagement channels
Many of these enterprisewide efforts leverage AI, analytics, cloud, and edge computing. But digital and data leaders are quickly realizing they cannot transform alone. Nor see it as a technology initiative. They need the right people, investments and partnerships to speed up and scale digitalization.
The inaugural Chief Digital Officer Australia Summit, organized by CDOTrends, looks to explore the challenges and proven approaches to scaling digitalization. It serves as a peer exchange for CDOs (Chief Digital and Data Officers), CDTOs, CTOS, Transformation & Innovation leaders and CIOs to discuss old and new use cases, explore best practices, and share lessons.

AGENDA
The world today is dynamic and turbulent. Enterprises must be ready to navigate disruptions to their industries, job functions, and workplace successfully in a moment’s notice. Looking forward to 2022, what should be the focus and priorities for digital leaders and technologists tasked to build digitally-capable enterprises? A leading expert will share forecasts and opinions in this session.
COVID-19 overcame traditional hurdles such as stakeholder relationships, risk aversiveness, and ROI justification that held back many digital transformation efforts. Companies simply saw it as a business necessity, not an evolutionary step for another day. But as the initial enthusiasm wanes, are we ready to quantify digitalization success? This panel will explore this question by examining:
- How have corporate strategies changed from the pre-pandemic and how are they expected to change further as we near a post-pandemic era
- The challenges in aligning digital initiatives with corporate strategies
- Should CDOs care about digitalization KPIs
- What should we measure and how to do it
- How do you know your transformation journey is leading to success, or if it needs calibration?
