What 'Digital Transformation' Means, and How You Can Use It to Advance Your Career (video)
By Kendra Little on January 3, 2019
I recently spoke at the GroupBy free online conference. It was loads of fun, and the recordings from the event are now available.
In the hour-long session below, I explore what executives mean when they describe a ‘digital transformation’, why this transformation is happening across all industries, and how understanding this gives developers and database administrators an advantage in building their careers.
Even if you hate buzzwords, the big ones signify critical cultural changes. Digital transformation is one of those buzzwords, and it’s worth understanding what it really means.
I explain what motivates CEOs to modify their business models in a digital transformation, and I share patterns and anti-patterns of companies that have attempted these transformations with different results.
By the end of the session, you’ll have an understanding of the core ideas and philosophies behind digital transformation that will help you prioritize what to learn, guide your interactions at work, and strategize your career path.
