Embracing digital transformation opportunities 

As the pandemic has magnified the urgency of businesses becoming more agile and resilient, many CEOs find themselves reevaluating business operations, as well as their mindsets, when it comes to going digital. And with disruption and rapid transformation showing no signs of slowing, leaders are continually challenged with defining a strong digital transformation strategy and driving its successful execution. The path ahead is full of opportunities, and it’s imperative that organizations use this moment to create a better future for all their stakeholders: businesses, partners, and customers.

In a perfect environment, what digitization does is it’s significantly additive to the employee experience because it means that the job is more interesting, is more diverse, is more dynamic and intellectually engaging.

In this episode of the User Friendly podcast, host Hanish Patel is joined by Steve Hasker, president and CEO at Thomson Reuters, and Janet Foutty, executive chair of the board at Deloitte US, to discuss how businesses and executives can act now to build a strong future of work, with digital transformation at the forefront.

We need to push our thinking on digital transformation as it relates to more equitable systems, from how we think about sourcing, retaining, and advancing talent to what we do in the market. That technology will expose what’s not working and will help get us on the right path.

–Janet Foutty, executive chair of the board at Deloitte US
