  • IT is the heart of every organisation, the so-called backoffice, the transactional systems and the supply chain. They are subject to a rapid modernisation. The move to the cloud started a few years ago, but now we also see extreme automation, made possible by process mining and innovative technology. The heart of the organisation is beating faster every day. Michel van Hout (Dutch Flower Group) is an experienced tech leader, who helped digitising Dutch airline Transavia. At DFG he is working in a different environment: family business and a combination of SMEs. What is the dynamics regarding digitisation, how do you get this moving? An open discussion. Hans Moonen, VP Consulting Expert Transport & Logistics with CGI, will be there to moderate this session. As Hans is actively involved in CGI’ annual strategic client interviews he will be able to share some of the key insights and experience from across the industry as well. In addition to his work with clients at CGI, Hans is a university lecturer at the University of Twente, where he teaches and conducts applied research with students in the Logistics domain.

  • Many companies are restructuring and reshaping themselves to be able to reap the benefits of the latest digital technologies. Covid has even accelrerated this process. However, there is a lot of reluctance in the Benelux market as companies do not want to see themselves forced by technology.

Still we see that successful implementations help companies to outpace their peers in terms of growth. Is there a template that can/should be followed to be successful? What are some of the key factors to succes?’

  • Industrial markets with a low public footprint traditionally did not have the risk profile that required a different approach to secure software development processes that companies like banks, big tech and e-commerce have. Market developments such as digitalization and industry 4.0, coupled with legislation surrounding protection of critical infrastructure mandate a reevaluation of the black-box approach to the secure development of these systems. What shift needs to take place to securely develop systems and what are the hurdles on the way?

Structural weaknesses have been magnified for all to see. Hidden strengths have been revealed. As businesses marshal all their ingenuity and collective might to chart a course through, can digital transformation prepare us for sudden, unexpected changes and help build resiliency.

  • Jeroen van der Velden and Kinly would like to invite you for a round table session to discuss collaboration 3.0: towards hybrid collaboration forms. Teams have to learn to work together again, organizations haveto rethink their structures and processes, how to maintain and vitalize the value-chain ecosystem? Where virtual collaboration and working from home was often bypassed before the pandemic, there was simply no alternative given the Covid19 restrictions. Remarkably enough, many turned out to be competent in virtual collaboration and research shows that the flexibility, efficiency and effectiveness of working virtual is experienced so positively by a considerable group that one expects and wishes that even after the restrictions that COVID19 entails, we will not let go of this way. That makes COVID19 an accelerator for change. However, there are also concerns regarding the impact on innovativeness and employee engagement. But what do we need to start doing differently? What does is mean to work in hybrid collaboration forms? When do we meet virtually and when do we meet on a physical location? How to set the balance?

  • Public sector organizations are just starting to unlock the true potential of the cloud. Impediments from regulation are easily identified, but should they prevent you from moving on? A value based approach seems to be the answer – rather than a solution driven approach. Where can most value be found in a successful transformation? And how can the public sector embark on their journey effectively, working together with cloud vendors and other ecosystem partners?
