Since the first R2R conference in 2015, the case for business reinvention has moved from acceptance by a few to the many. Established businesses are developing and executing new strategies and are navigating their way into the future. But the journey isn’t easy. It demands leadership from the top, new business models, a talented workforce, cultural change, and of course, investment in digital initiatives.
2017 brings new challenges. The deployment of digital technologies has grown in scale and their negative consequences - work force displacement, cyber-attacks, and inadequate digital infrastructure - have become more apparent. The agenda for this year’s conference is designed to help business leaders navigate the road ahead. Through a series of thoughtful conversations with experienced leaders, attendees will learn how they can lead their businesses to success in an accelerating digital world.
