Apply what you've learned to your organization's digital efforts
On the last day, Case Western Reserve University professor, Dr. Ron Fry, is teaching a workshop that will offer participants direct experience in applying principles of Appreciative Inquiry to assist in preparing for back-at-work conversations following this conference to accelerate your Digital Futures agenda. This workshop will leverage the power of questions and story-telling to create generative connections--or conversations that matter--with your colleagues. These conversations can help to reconnect with embedded strengths you can exploit to assist in the digital transformation process to find shared preferrered future images with a critical mass of stakeholders, and to build momentum for co-designing the ideal Digital firm of the future!
