Digital technologies are creating new business paradigms by blurring the boundaries between physical and virtual worlds. A wave of digital innovation has led to the emergence of radically new businesses that are disrupting traditional markets and industries —making some business models obsolete and creating unprecedented opportunities for those who can visualize the possibilities. Incumbent organizations need to respond to the pace of digital transformation in order to remain relevant. In this climate, “business as usual” is certainly no longer good enough.

The growth in mobile adoption and usage, combined with the explosion of connected devices is generating endless possibilities for businesses to engage and interact digitally with users whether they are at home, at work, at play, or on the go. Organizations have already enjoyed varying degrees of success by mobilizing workflows and providing anytime, anywhere access to back-office systems. But as a piece of the larger digital transformation puzzle, mobility needs to be recognized for its ability to create meaningful interactions with things, data, people and places—it’s not just about apps.

Mobile’s Impact on Today’s Digital Business – A Roundtable Lunch for Enterprise Business and Technology Leaders is a highly interactive 2-hour event designed to promote the free exchange of knowledge, perspectives, and experiences while networking over lunch. We’ll feature a moderated panel to explore how the enterprise of the future will embrace mobile to digitally transform their business. Our invitation-only program is limited to 50 leaders from Chicago based enterprises.

• How do leading enterprises achieve digital transformation by focusing their mobile efforts on innovation and integration?
• Why must leading enterprises improve their business agility – the ability to respond to change quickly and easily in order to achieve digital transformation?
• Why is an open software architecture that connects applications, services, and devices, while controlling service deployment and versioning, critical for success?
• Not every business can be an UBER and build everything based on new digital technologies. But what can be learned from enterprises that have reinvented themselves such as Adobe, Nike, Ally and Marriott?
