Seminar Presentation: Digital Transformation – Changing the Way We Do Business
The world has changed. The things that used to set companies apart such as economies of scale, distribution strength, and brand are far less critical now than they used to be. Why? Because digital technology has fundamentally changed two things: the dynamics of the markets in which business operates and the speed of change that business must now deal with to remain competitive. This seminar series is designed to help business owners and executives, as well as IT managers, understand and navigate the world of digital transformation at the intersection of technology and business in order to have their business survive and thrive in the rapidly changing world of digital transformation.

David will tell you his sweet spot is where technology, sales, and marketing intersect. He is quick to warn that technology alone does not ever solve the problem.

David sees innovation and disruption through the eyes of an entrepreneur.
