Background and Why You MUST Attend!
STRATEGY—Solving Digital Management Dilemmas
Not sure where to start? Got a digital roadblock and not sure where to go? Everyone has these problems, and it's why this conference is happening! The conference centers around presenting clear digital transformation roadmaps that can be applied directly, starting from beginner level through highly advanced, holistic digital solutions for the entire supply chain. Every brand simply must have a presence—whether you are starting a new program or you are in the middle of a digital transformation—everyone will get key ideas, tips and best practices critical to the success and bottom line of your company.
Several software and hardware solutions for the footwear industry are connected in logical, practical scenarios that offer both low- and high-end solutions. They not only address which kinds of software to choose strategically and why, but also focus on organizational aspects such as: how to change the current workflow in order to accommodate for this innovation, what kind of people and skills will be needed, how to decide whether to outsource this new digital work or do it in-house, and how to best train people for these skills. Each scenario centers around one question, but these questions—and answers—become increasingly complex as we progress through the days.
