Tech Interview Series: Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining: Maximizing Performance Through Digitalization
Thursday November 28, 2024 11:15am - 11:40am GMT+08
 


In this Tech Series Interview, we explore valuable lessons and experiences from leading a digital transformation journey. There is no one-size-fits-all solution; each transformation is unique and must be carefully designed with multiple stakeholders in mind to achieve the desired outcomes. Organizations strive to maximize shareholder returns, and the ongoing challenge is to improve performance and enhance company value.

With advancements in tools and technologies, we can leverage greater output with existing resources. By optimizing processes, accelerating decision-making, enhancing people's competencies, and utilizing powerful data processing tools, we can make more informed decisions. This, in turn, drives productivity, reduces costs and boosts company valuation, delivering better returns to stakeholders.
