Recognizing and Addressing Software Disruption Trends on IT (slides)
Software has been more disruptive than ever for businesses in 2018. Companies that don’t understand this face the prospect of dislocation – e.g., taxis, banking, and hotels. Legacy market participants may feel they have the digital assets and people they need, but many lack the imagination to spot where the next disruption is coming from. In this talk Dr. Paul Trompeter will discuss why disruption exists, where it’s coming from, which organizations are affected, recognizing disruption’s analytics, speed and agility, and the business of technology.
