RISE 2015 Wellington
Stand Out in the World of Digital Disruption
Shift what you have your diary for Tuesday 17th February, and make it a day to work ON your business - Not in it. This is going to be a day NOT to be missed!!
We all know that the digital world is changing the traditional face of businesses, but did we really ever realise just how close to home it would hit. In EVERY industry, digital competitors are taking advantage of new platforms, tools, and relationships to undercut competitors, get closer to customers, and disrupt the usual ways of doing business. The only way to compete is to evolve and embrace digital transformation. Are you prepared for the worst and READY for the BEST!! Digital Disruption does not need to just be a threat to how you do business - YOU have the power to exploit the same economics of digital disruption and become a disruptor....The only question is, will you?
RISE 2015 will be themed around standing out in the world of digital disruption, together with addressing all manner of topics related to business and personal success.
