Create a list of your top success principles for digital transformation.
Would your guidelines work in different industries and sectors, even non-profit or public sector? Do they apply to both incumbents as well as disruptors?
While no two organizations (or Chief Digital Officers) are the same, the very best strategies share some common threads such as an emphasis on the customer journey, creation of a data-driven culture, or strong internal digital leadership.
Shore up your list of digital transformation best practices at the “Success Principles for Digital Transformation” panel at the NYC CDO Summit, presented by Centric Digital and hosted by Thomson Reuters on April 27, 2016 .
The panel includes experts from a diverse set of sectors and organizations, from tech giants to healthcare providers. Even the Chief Digital Officer of a major U.S. city will share her viewpoint.
Their nuanced discussion will explore the similarities and bridge the differences in digital transformation strategy, leaving the audience with a set of success principles they can bring to any organization.

Want to know what to expect at CDO Summit events?
Watch this quick video to find out:
The CDO Summit is the “must-attend” digital event of the year. The 2013, 2014 and 2015 CDO Summits received stellar endorsements from dozens of speakers and attendees alike:
“Sometimes a conference comes along that hits the trifecta – hot topic, high-caliber attendees, and stellar location. The first Chief Digital Officer Summit reached that mark with ease, and I look forward to attending the next one.”
“Congratulations and thanks to David Mathison for spotting the need for community and collaboration in the growing Chief Digital Officer space, and for having the wherewithal, network, and organizational talent to put together such a top-notch event in its inaugural year. Next year’s summit should be even more of a must-do for anyone working digital at senior levels in all kinds of businesses.”
“David, here’s a handy C^3 test for conference value: Did I learn at least three new perspectives? Check. Did I meet at least three interesting people? Check. Did I take back at least three relevant pieces of news I can use? Check. Flying colors for the Chief Digital Officer Summit 2013! Thank you so much, and yes, I’d be very pleased to participate next year!”
“Congratulations to David Mathison and his team on the simply amazing job they did on the inaugural Chief Digital Officer Summit. Probably the most informative, insightful, on target, entertaining, collaborative, thought provoking, and inspiring conferences I have ever attended. I learned more about my business and what I do in the past 12 hours than I have from any research white paper, articles or blogs over the past 12 months. The range of topics and speakers assembled were incredibly diverse, informative, collaborative, and most of all, inspiring. It has invigorated me to be the best possible professional CDO I can be. David Mathison’s skills as a moderator were impeccable, bringing out the best of the speakers and keeping the conversation flowing. His intimate and insightful knowledge of this space is only out-shined by his humility and graciousness. Kudos to David and his organizing team.”
