ALTERNATIVE COMMERCIAL MODELS DRIVEN BY DIGITAL: A CHALLENGE SESSION
People focus a lot of energy on technology as a pathway to innovation. In this session, Paul will bring his considerable experience to enter an innovation dialogue with you around potential opportunities to drive commercial models that may or may not involve technology, but rather different ways of looking at things. This session, what we call an innovation dialogue, will seek to work with "Tech Torquers" to draw out constructive commentary, insight, and challenge around where threats or opportunities might be present.
