In the quest to help each other, EBG | Network are happy to welcome Jacob Ejdelind, Automation/Digitalization Strategist at Nordea. Jacob will join the panel kicking off May 6th – the 11th annual Source 2 Pay Summit held online. During this panel we will digest how different companies within different industries organize what all companies talk about – digitizing and automating. It is one on EBG’s biggest quests – to help give different perspectives to what may seem easy but often pose challenges.
Digitization, digitalization and automation for sure being a challenge for many. It is easily said, it look nice in the annual report and vision statement – but realizing change that affect thousands of people and different type stakeholders take knowing what you talk about. And the understanding that one size does not fit all.
Digitalization and digitization panel on May 6th
Digitizing and digitalization is not necessarily the same thing. Perhaps a too philosophical question but still. Digitizing is normally used to turn analogue data into digital data, for instance through scanning paper invoices. Digitalization usually mean the transformation from an analogue/manual business to a digital.
Anna Lagerhed, Head of Intelligent Automation, SSAB
The above is a great first – what are we really talking about? During the panel questions like the below will be discussed;
- How have you organized digitization/automation in your organization?
- What is the goal and main KPIs driving your work?
- How are projects elevated in your organization?
- How is the value proposition calculated?
- How have you structured governance in your organization?
- What may slow digitization down and how do you overcome those challenges?
- How do you scale automation across functions?
In the afternoon panelists invite you to join Theme Discussions enabling you to ask all your questions an learn from questions asked and discussions held in the group. You create your own day based on Your interests! A select and limited peer group will join too, EBG will connect you ahead and aim to connect you also after (voluntary of course). EBG know what value experience exchange can bring – the topics discussed are topics open for discussion and exchange across industries and functions.
