Topic: Lessons from Running Technology Across a Diversified Industrial Group
Key Highlights:

[2] The biggest challenge in adopting new technology is changing people’s mindsets and getting them to embrace it.
[3] Instead of push, it should be pull. The real secret is to ensure that demand for technology comes from the business itself.
[4] We have transformed our IT function from a shared services model into a Centre of Excellence. If you want to enable your business with new technologies, join hands with us.
[5] Neither IT nor the business should operate in the shadows. Both need to work together transparently.
