CEIBS Executive Forum: Next-Generation Enterprises in the Context of Digital Transformation
Join us on March 2 for this CEIBS Executive Forum with Mr. Shiwei Hu, Co-Founder and Chief Architect, 4Paradigm, who will give a lecture on Next-Generation Enterprises in the Context of Digital Transformation.
About this event
When it comes to digital transformation, enterprises have progressed from pursuing technology adoption and upgrading a single business to improving core competencies based on digital-enabled, forward-looking and sustainable strategies. In doing so, they have shifted from a fixed mindset to an evolutionary mindset, from focusing on promoting single projects to thinking about building new management platforms and transforming their enterprises into ones that can quickly experiment and iterate, and from merely fulfilling performance indicators to implementing strategies for business survival and success.
So, how should enterprises seize the opportunities brought by digital transformation? First, they should understand industrial development patterns and have a strategic plan to enhance their core competency; second, they should be aware of deficiencies in their management systems and find ways to remedy them; and, third, they should develop digital technologies and capabilities to reshape operations and management. Digital transformation involves not only reducing costs and improving service efficiencies, but also putting in place the closed-loop system involving strategy, tactic, execution and evaluation.
During this event, Mr. Shiwei Hu, Co-Founder and Chief Architect of 4Paradigm, will share with us the story of why, when digital transformation brings about qualitative change, an enterprise will stand out as one that can address industrial deep-seated problems using digital and intelligent technologies.
