How are we going to use the new technologies today that exist to better value propositions and better business models. And not you know just focus on the digital aspects, but focus on the value propositions that we create, but focus on the business models that create value for the company.

The big challenge, you know if I just take my space that I focus on and digital transformation is well, how can we use digital technologies to create better value propositions that address jobs, pains, and gains that matter to customers.
And how do we embed those value propositions in business models that allow my company to create value for my company, for the shareholders, for the employees. And create a certain competitive advantage.
