My introduction covering the themes of the day both in terms of the new digital landscape, and how it enables transformation. As we move in to what the World Economic Forum calls the 4th Industrial Revolution we face disruption - our business models are under threat, and we need to balance seizing new opportunities, with protecting existing revenues. He will set the scene for our topics that talk through those issues and cover the need for redefining security, the challenge of GDPR, consumer driven technology, the need for more collaboration and more.
