It is the profound changes necessary of business and organizational activities and processes to fully leverage the changes and advances of digital technology. But what does this mean in the Age of the Customer?

Customers don’t care if building these experiences are hard or require a complex, multi function approaches. They want immediate value and will go elsewhere if you can’t provide it. We’re in a once-in-a-lifetime marketplace shift, where every business needs to turn disruptions into opportunity or fall into the dreaded Digital Darwinian chasm.

Hear from George Colony, the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Forrester Research and one of the most influential thought leaders in the world of business and technology; and Tom Davenport, one of the world’s Top 25 Consultants' and the President's Distinguished Professor in Management and IT at Babson College.
