Specialisation Subjects
Category subjects
- Digital Metamorphosis: The Technology Factor
The most innovative companies use emerging technologies - Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, Blockchain, among others - as well as data and agile methodologies to develop new products and services, business models, and customer experiences. These companies have digitally transformed themselves by making data the engine of their operations and achieving strong competitive advantages that can lead to major disruptions in markets and profound changes in the industry. However, technology is a very important element in this process, but it is not enough. Success lies fundamentally in the proper formulation of strategic intent and not on individual technologies, as well as in the ability to digitally reinvent the business, supported by leaders who foster a culture capable of changing and inventing the new, of taking risks, and of properly managing talent. This subject explores how strategies can be improved through the introduction of new technologies, the knowledge of these, the use of data for decision making, the organizational and cultural change that companies must face in order to guarantee success in this digital metamorphosis that for some companies could mean their disappearance.
