 The Roadmap to Digital Transformation

Thursday, December 3, from  8:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Location: Technekes, 1431 W Morehead St, Charlotte, NC 28208


With digital innovations driving both greater buyer expectations and more sophisticated corporate marketing and selling capabilities, companies must transform their teams, processes, and technology to ensure that they can deliver the right set of digital interactions to drive inquiry, create leads, and convert opportunities. Many companies, however, are unable to successfully navigate this transformation as they struggle to define the ideal digital end-state, assess their current organization, and develop a plan to move from current to ideal states. To help companies answer these questions and successfully plan and execute their own digital transformations we’ve created the SiriusDecisions Digital Transformation Framework.


In this forum we will review the Digital Transformation Framework to help companies identify their ideal digital model, and the Digital Maturity Model to assess the current state and capabilities of existing organizations. In addition, we will discuss different strategies and approaches to drive and manage the transformation effort.

We will answer the following key questions:
• How do I define the right digital approach for my company?
• How do I determine the right mix of digital interactions to drive inquiries, leads, and revenues for my company?
• How do I assess the current state of digital in my company?
• What is the best way to plan and execute a digital transformation to optimize my digital teams, processes and technologies?
