• Kick Off Presentation (15 min): The Future Enterprise in the Digital Economy

Speaker: Alizabeth Calder, Adjunct Analyst, Consulting CIO, IDC

Abstract: The future enterprise is IDC's vision for how organizations must organize and invest to serve increasingly digitally centric customers and citizens. The digital economy has been eagerly anticipated for years, but felt to be in the distant future. As we look beyond 2020, we can see the digital economy appear on the horizon. By 2023, products and services from digitally transformed enterprises will account for more than half of the global GDP, according to IDC’s research. Business and IT leaders in enterprise and government will need to focus on four key areas when thinking about the digital economy:

• Customer and Citizen Experience
• Digital Capabilities and Talent
• Critical infrastructure
• Industry Ecosystems
