Second edition of the Executive School’s webinar week

20 February 2020. Almost a year after the first ES-Digital Week, the topic of digitisation is still hot off the press. It creates innovation, it disrupts what already exists and changes the way we do business. It permeates all areas of our business from operations to HR. It influences the way we manage, how we collaborate, interact with our clients and deal with legal issues. It challenges the very foundations of our business model.

The impact of digitisation on businesses

From March 2 to March 5 2020, the second edition of the Executive School’s webinar week highlights specific facets of digital transformation and how it impacts your business. Participants get first hand research insights, tools and best practices from top faculty of the University of St.Gallen and can discuss their questions with HSG professors in the live online sessions. The online sessions include a 20-25 minute presentation followed by a live question and answer session.
