Digital Business Models for Industrial Companies

TRACK Workshop

Tuesday, June 7, 8:00am – 12:00pm CT


Value is migrating from traditional industrial business models to digital business models at a rapid pace. The new digital business models are complex, and they often depend on new corporate capabilities and new partnerships. It can be mystifying to identify the digital business model that is most appropriate for your particular industrial context. This workshop will provide enough background for participants to identify and begin developing and testing digital business models. The course is designed for those in innovation functions or within businesses who have responsibility for developing and bringing new business concepts to market or for managing their company’s digital transformation. It is useful both for practitioners developing new business concepts and for those who manage the innovation and digital functions.
