To delineate the top reasons such transformation initiatives fail, they will discuss areas such as:
· Hype and excitement – realistic expectations of what is possible and how to scale
· Ensuring internal infrastructure and processes can support continuous digital evolution

· Security and risk – data governance and cyber security
