Welcome to Season 2 of the Taste of Informatics podcast. Digital transformation (DX) is more important than ever now that we're in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, where the lines between the physical, digital, and biological worlds are becoming ever more blurred.
In this episode, author and digital transformation thought-leader Tony Saldanha chats with Mike Nitardy about the revolutionary forces that transform businesses, why digital transformation is fundamentally important, and how leaders should approach the undertaking to avoid the typical 70% failure rate across industries.
