Cognizant is the only company to earn a place in the list of Forbes fastest growing technology companies every year since the list’s inception. Its intriguing growth leaves us inquisitive – is there a framework to excel? Has Cognizant found the same? It is known that the book Built to Last by Jim Collins and Jerry Porras influenced Francisco D’Souza (CEO of Cognizant) the most. He is committed to establish a “cult like” culture focused on core values. But, beyond this, does their dual mandate of run better and run different have any role in their monumental growth? Cognizant is not only preaching about helping their clients to transform in order to run better and run different but also walking the talk by practicing the dual mandate within organization from its early days. This paper digs into Cognizant’s history and current trends to understand what they have done to run better and run different.

Digital Maturity in Health Systems – The DigiM Framework and How to Use it with Sara Vaezy and Paddy Padmanabhan
Learn Objectives:
- Understanding digital maturity in health systems
- Applying an objective, structured assessment tool such as DigiM to evaluate digital maturity
- Developing a roadmap for accelerating technology-led transformation
Health systems have been on a digital transformation journey for the past few years. However, there is no structured framework to assess the maturity of health systems, specifically from a technology enablement standpoint. Damo Consulting’s DigiM framework addresses this gap with an online assessment tool that helps healthcare leaders benchmark themselves against their peers. The framework also assesses the relative maturity of the digital transformation vision against the execution of the strategy.
Using recently concluded research and data points from self-assessments by several health systems, this session will provide a roadmap for digital transformation leaders looking to take an objective view of their progress and prioritize their investments to meet their enterprise goals.

AI for Enterprises-The Value Paradigm By Venkat Subramanian VP Marketing at B...Analytics India Magazine
AI is here, call it buzz, cause it a bubble, we are smack in the middle of an AI revolution. While there is a strong view building about consumer AI applications, there still seems to be some scepticism about AI for enterprises, primarily due to the lack of clarity and focus on how AI can actually deliver value for enterprises. At BRIDGEi2i, we believe it is important to have a non-fragmented view of the AI ecosystem and a “Value Roadmap” for AI in the enterprise context. As CxOs, it is important to understand where the enterprise is in the transformation journey and define value accordingly. This talk will throw light on how to look at the enterprise AI ecosystem and build the right roadmap for value.

Patrick Couch - Intelligenta Maskiner & Smartare Tjänster IBM Sverige
Industriföretag, såväl tillverkare som användare av maskiner, fordon och utrustning, står inför ett paradigmskifte drivet av ökad global konkurrens, kunders förändrade efterfrågan samt det faktum att produkterna nu blir instrumenterade, ihopkopplade och mer intelligenta. Stora datamängder är inte ett buzzword för dessa företag, utan en reell verklighet som de behöver förhålla sig till för att säkra sin framtida verksamhet. I bästa fall omvandlar dessa företag denna teknologiska revolution (populärt kallad Internet of Things, Industrial Internet, M2M, Industri 4.0 etc.) till en motor för att utveckla verksamheten mot tillväxt och effektivare produktion. Detta skifte skapar framförallt stora möjligheter att förflytta sig mot leveranser av tjänster som kraftigt ökar mervärdet för kunderna, deras kunders kunder samt för producenten.

In the year 2014, while e-commerce was majorly a business-to-consumer (B2C) game a platform best constructed for consumer brands and retail transactions, business-to-business (B2B) was barely on the limelight. B2B ordering solutions were very few, pricey, and complex in nature. Because of this, it was difficult for small wholesale distributors and retailers to implement B2B ordering solutions in their businesses.
