About the event
This half-day conference will shed light on the challenges and potential solutions facing businesses as they strive to make their organisations less paper-based and more digital. Many companies find it difficult to know where to start; others have digitised parts of the organisation but do not have an overall plan and are not taking full advantage of the benefits of digitisation.
Malta’s leading authority on Artificial Intelligence will talk about how you should make AI a central element of your digitisation strategy, and you will see real examples of how it is already working in Maltese companies.
International speakers representing various tech companies related to digitalisation will offer their views on potential pitfalls and concrete solutions.
Why attend and the benefits
Digital transformation in an organisation is one of those areas whose scope is so broad that it is often very difficult to identify who should drive the project. Because technology is such an important part of “digital” transformation, it often falls to the IT department or the CIO. However, “transformation” can only work if it is driven by senior management or operations to ensure that it is not about digitising for the sake of digitising, but about making the organisation more agile, faster and more efficient in everything it does.
Of course, this conference is not intended to be all things to all people, but in the first part of the morning we tried to bring business leaders together with technology leaders, focusing on real-world problems and corresponding opportunities.
The second part of the conference will be divided into two parts, one business and one technical, so that we can talk directly about how some of these technologies can affect your business and how best to apply them.
Finally, after the conference, you will be in a much better position to talk about the digital transformation of your organisation, both from a technology point of view and from a business improvement perspective. In addition, you will have excellent examples of how other companies have solved some of the most burdensome problems the speakers have encountered.
