Dr. Gerald Kane’s Keynote Address was focused on his book titled, “The Transformation Myth: Leading Your Organization through Uncertain Times.” He explained his research of five years on understanding the digital business evolution. “While navigating disruptions, organizations need to be more capable, more developed, more agile and flexible and create more opportunities. Many companies were prepared for the transition even before COVID
happened and that led them to sustain the proximities of the adverse situations. If you know the history, you know the future and this will help you get prepared to lead in a digital role”, he added.
