09:20 Be Disrupted Or Be The Disruptor: Transform Your Entire Retail Journey To Be Personal, Digital & Highly Profitable

Becoming a digital business is no longer simply about how we incorporate technology into our organisations; it’s about how we use technology to reinvent those organisations to get out in front of the dramatic changes that technology is creating. For large enterprises especially, the opportunity to shift from disrupted to disruptor cannot be overstated. How will organisations use the next three years to redefine their places in this new world? Learn to apply tactics based on John Straw’s groundbreaking new role, where he is responsible for:

• Advising Thomas Cook Group’s Board on leading-edge trends for online businesses, while being the conduit to identify and attract the brightest and best digital talent
• Facilitating strategic innovation and bringing significant differentiation to the Group’s digital road map at this critical point of the company’s evolution
• Embedding a ‘high tech, high touch’ ethos to drive profitable growth
• Recognising the potential of the travel and tourism industry to embrace the currently under-utilised opportunities of the evolving technological landscape
