9:10 - 9:40 Patrick Ferraris Global Leader for Digital Transformation, Capgemini Consulting	Opening Keynote by Patrick Ferraris, Global Leader for Digital Transformation of Capgemini Consulting The Digital Advantage : How digital leaders outperform their peers in every industry Digital transformation – the use of technology to radically improve the performance or reach of enterprises – is one of the major strategic issues facing executives worldwide. Organizations in all industries are using digital advances in analytics, mobility, social media and smart embedded devices to reshape their organizations. Working with the MIT Center for Digital Business, Capgemini Consulting has undertaken a significant research program to understand what these fast-moving digital innovations mean for large, traditional companies. In two years of study – covering more than 400 major organizations from all industries and geographies – we have investigated how these companies are reshaping their customer experience, operations and even their business models. Our analysis has shown how companies that are leading the digital revolution deliver a measurably better financial performance than their peers – what we call the ‘Digital Advantage’. And we have identified the common patterns for how business leaders can build their Digital Advantage -- the DNA of the digital leader -- giving a clear direction for executives in all industries to succeed in their own digital transformation journey.
