LED VIRTUAL TALKS 2020 | WEBINAR 1
Tuesday, November 17, 2020 1:00 pm till 2:00 pm · Zoom Webinar
Digital technologies are disrupting every industry. Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft and Facebook are all threats to verticals previously thought to be safe. Some of them, like media and entertainment, are at a very advanced stage of disruption. Others like retail and consumer packaged goods are starting to suffer. And Covid-19 has only accelerated the pace of digitalisation.
Financial institutions, threatened by fintechs and new technologies like blockchain, or auto makers rethinking how new mobility options will affect their revenue streams are all exploring and launching digital ventures. The internet of things, robotics, artificial intelligence are exponential trends supported by digital.
The USAID-Lebanon Enterprise Development (LED) Project in collaboration with Good Rebels are pleased to invite you to participate in the LED Virtual Talks 2020: Why Digital Is Eating the World (and What to Do About it).
In this webinar, guest speaker Fernando Polo will review a framework with three areas of work: customer experience, business models and digital leadership and operations to help companies become more agile, data driven and human-centred. Some cases will be reviewed and insights and tools for small and medium size enterprises will be presented and could be taken away for immediate action.
