The New Normal is about all things we call "digital". Information is at our fingertips in electronic form through the Internet, Intranets, search engines, accessible via smartphones, tablet PC's, ..., and every company is making sure that its knowledge workers have access to internal and external information in digital format. Every process and workflow is dematerialized and automated. Digital natives are changing the workplace, and technology is a very important part of their life. We just have to accept that business isn't as usual anymore. Digital is becoming the New Normal.

But the digital revolution is probably only halfway. During this unique one-day seminar, Peter Hinssen will explore the world of "digital" once we’ve crossed the halfway point, specifically looking at the new rules of the digital normal and the impact of the New Normal on customer interaction, information management, governance, innovation and technology.

Topics covered are e.g.:

  • Why digital becomes the New Normal and why we are only halfway this digital revolution
  • The impact of The New Normal on society, business and IT
  • The limits of The New Normal
  • The rules of The New Normal
  • The impact on customer interaction and customer strategies
  • The impact on information management and information strategies
  • Governance in the New Normal
  • The future of your IT strategy, your IT department and your CIO
  • New Ways of Working (Het Nieuwe Werken) (work is the time you spend using old technology)
  • Cloud Computing (you aint' see nothing yet)
  • Social Media and Social Business
  • The App Economy (Isn't there an app for that ?)
  • Crowdsourcing and using the wisdom of the crowd
  • Innovative innovation strategies

Who should attend this seminar ?
