                      An INSEAD alumnus is asked to lead a digital transformation effort in a large commercial bank.

                          Generali Italia: Building Digital Foundations - From Integration to Transformation

                          Digital transformations require foundations. Placing advanced technologies on top of poor organizational structures and processes is not likely to work. Digital transformation may involve long-term strategic and organizational development to create a solid foundation that can properly absorb and develop digital initiatives.
