Where does digital transformation fit into your industry? Part One
Dec 17. 2019Digital transformation can mean a lot of different things to different industries, from medical devices to sophisticated retail consumer data. With that being said, a lot has changed in the last 10 years. What about the next 10 years? On this episode of Recalibrate with Samsung, Host Jason Claybrook welcomes guests Keith Fuentes, Mark Irwin, and Reid Estreicher from Samsung who give their unique perspectives on the impact of a worldwide digital transformation on business. Organizations investigating new technology have had a habit getting stuck in the testing phase but rarely take action in implementing; something Fuentes calls "pilot purgatory”. Things have completely shifted in the opposite direction, as Fuentes explains, stating that enacting new technologies has become a necessity for business leaders. Harnessing digital transformations and implementing forward-focused technology is now a must for any company to own their market. So, how should companies approach a digital transformation that's right for them? The team discusses examples across multiple industries including healthcare, retail, restaurants, and other industries focused on making the shift into a new digital-first approach to business.
