We all know that the need to rapidly embrace change is critical right now for every business. Across its work with organisations of every size and scale, Microsoft has seen many companies condense months of digital transformation effort into mere weeks in order to respond to the challenges of COVID-19.
Join Dr Ian McDonald, CTO in Residence at Microsoft for Startups, as he draws on this insight to share the priority transformation areas that companies are investing in - and exactly why it makes sense to invest in them now, even as companies double-down on efficiency gains.
Ian is an expert in how startups embrace volatility and build resilience into their roadmaps. In this session, he will also share tactical lessons on how startups tackle change that every company can apply in order to better navigate the current climate.
