Businesses need to have access to the right technology and skills in order to succeed now more than ever. After all, digital tools and technology are now necessary for any global business to be successful. However, there is a "digital skills gap" that many businesses have to deal with because they can't find skilled professionals who have the right knowledge and experience with new technologies. As a result, businesses are at a competitive disadvantage as they struggle to bridge the skills gaps between their current workforce and the digital economy's requirements.
Key discussion points in this panel will touch on how to maximise the power of technology by leveraging on trained and capable digital talents, understanding how diversity help business transform and innovate, discovering new business opportunities by having a diverse voice and how citizen-led automation can optimise and support digital transformation strategy.

Mobile devices place the power of distributed information in the hands of many throughout the organisation, but how to overcome the challenges of reliable connectivity, information security and user downtime, to drive productivity?
As the number of mobile information workers in your organisation increases, so does the complexity of managing the device fleets ranging from mobile phones through tablets to field-based rugged devices and laptops. The combinations of device type, network, apps, user profiles, authorisation and authentication, and use cases, increase exponentially.
Mobile information workers and mobile technologies are not a new part of business – it’s now a mature part of organisations’ digital transformation. However, the tools, processes and systems to make mobile technology ‘just work’ are constantly evolving.
This session is a combination of current industry state-of-the-art mobile productivity enhancement, reinforced by a moderated discussion by an experienced thought leader, and the chance to hear directly from peers about issues faced, open questions and interesting experiences.
