Digital Transformation: Failure is the only option

Why does Digital Transformation go wrong? Could it be that rather than a lack of technology, a traditional culture of blame and fear failure is the thing that sinks these programmes? Should you embrace failure and the learning that comes with it? How do you avoid sounding like a nutcase when you tell your boss you need to fail more? Figure out these things you're not just on the way to a successful digital transformation, but the adoption of an innovation led culture!

A dropouts guide to disruption

Elon Musk doesn't think you need a degree to succeed, in fact ideally 'You're a dropout". This seems to be born out by the fact that some of our most successful tech entrepreneurs were dropouts including Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Larry Ellison. So why is dropping out so good for your career? Why is it working for the tech sector? And if you drop out, will you be awesome too? Another dropout is here to provide an insight into the incompletely educated mindset. He doesn't have a degree from Harvard Business School, but that's sort of the point, isn't it?

Bitcoin is ridiculous, but it will change the world!

An explanation of blockchain that even idiots like me understand.
We'll explain the differences between blockchain, cryptocurrency coins (Like Bitcoin), and smart contracts. We'll also discuss decentralisation, the single aspect of blockchain that may have an earth shattering effect our global financial systems, politics and governance.

We're using Zoom now! Have we transformed yet?

The answer is no. But the expectation is any presentation should be at least 20 minutes long, so we'll be going into some detail as to why we're not there yet, and when we will be.

Go disrupt yourself!

Many of our traditional businesses feel like immovable objects when it comes to digital transformation. Is it because we're too focused on the technology and not focused enough on the more fundamental changes that need to be made? What's your mission? If you started with a blank sheet of paper tomorrow, how would you do things differently?

  • Nick's presentation was super insightful, giving us a very different take on digital transformation that contrasted from many other speakers, but was all the more valuable for it. The humour that he injects into these presentations makes them so much more engaging, and he's now one of our go-to speakers every year.

  • The most attendees we've ever had at our closing keynote. Standing room only, so being an organiser I missed out on a seat, but absolutely worth it. Hilarious and inspirational.
