Digitization has changed the nature of work. Modern enterprises in the midst of digital transformation are struggling to complete DX initiatives successfully and are left feeling disconnected, siloed, overloaded, and pressured to get more done faster. Employees are scrambling to manage these initiatives and their associated workflows using a myriad of 20th century tools—which is quickly leading to frustration, turnover, and low morale.
Sound familiar? Join us a for an executive luncheon at Ruth's Chris Steak House in Minneapolis, on Thursday, June 21st, as work management experts lead a roundtable discussion on transforming enterprise work from traditional, siloed, and rigid—to modern, connected, and agile. We’ll discuss success stories and share insights to help business leaders to:
● Gain visibility by transforming from analog to digital
● Dispel silos by connecting teams and technology
● Ensure team members are tightly aligned to key initiatives
