Like many businesses, we are going through restructuring and transformation - including a spinoff of a large (25%) of our business. As a result many things will change. - Have you experienced this type of transformation? - What are the top 2-3 skills or capabilities would you recommend for groups of leaders, front line managers, and all employees? - What were your lessons learned from the experience?

What is your primary motivation for attending physical conferences? We used to go to get new research and learn something new, but for the last three years, we got most of the information virtually. For me, it's networking with other people. What about you?

I am always asked about the best approach for digital transformation. From my experience, I can warrant that every company is different. It has its specific challenges, its legacy, and its opportunities. That's why there is no one-size-fits-all approach.
