Embracing resiliency and transformation - The triad of people, process, and technology
Technology, innovation, and digital leaders face a multitude of challenges in the current landscape, including a possible recession, mass tech layoffs and budget restraints, mixed with siloed decision-making and the ongoing need for accelerated transformation and growth. With the pace of innovation and transformation getting faster and faster, it is not the time leaders can stand still through these challenges. It will likely be a year of continued evolution, development, and shifts in expectations; both from employees as well as customers.
Critical skills in the technology & innovation space have long been in short supply, and the current labor shortage is intensifying the need for such professionals. Building resiliency with technology will enable leaders to think beyond their own team and help them address this challenge for the company as a whole. Having the right technology can create a ripple effect, empowering employees, which enables satisfaction and a superior experience.
However, successful digital transformation comes not only from adopting technology, but adjusting the people, processes, and culture to support it. Join this panel to hear how leaders are prioritizing and strategizing their digital transformation journeys at an organizational level.
Questions to consider include:
- What does the term ‘building resiliency’ mean to you in your respective organizations & industries?
- Which technologies are enabling you to build a more resilient organisation?
- How are budgets affecting your digital transformation strategy?
- In the midst of economic instability & fiscal responsibility, how do leaders foster an innovation-rich mindset and culture?
- How do you balance your desire to take risk, with the need to be resilient?
- What leadership skills are required to empower employees?
- Successful digital & business modernization comes not only from adopting technology, but adjusting the people, processes, data, and culture to support it. Do you agree? What are the key challenges here?
- With people being an integral element here, what kind of challenges are you facing around talent?

The emotion behind the click
In today's rapidly digitalizing world, the keynote "The Emotion Behind the Click" delves deep into the heart of what makes technology truly impactful: human connection. As every facet of our lives becomes increasingly digitized, it's easy to become lost in the noise of ones and zeros, forgetting the very real emotions driving every digital interaction. This presentation underscores the importance of intertwining genuine human engagement within the digital context. Beyond the mere mechanics of a click or a swipe lies a myriad of emotions, aspirations, and needs. By harnessing the power of technology, we can bridge the virtual gap and craft experiences that resonate, building trust and fostering meaningful connections.

Scalable automation in AIOps action framework
Associating events with specific desired actions creates a combination of observability and automation that can help diagnose and fix IT problems faster. The new action framework within Instana partnered with Ansible Automation Platform assists investigating IT teams to hit the ground running to resolve issues or respond to a specific condition when it occurs. Customers can see what actions have been used in the past to work around or fix similar issues, saving time in determining next steps and running actions directly on the agent that triggered the event. Hear how this solution is bringing value to users and how it sets the stage for using AI to recommend a next action to take to resolve issues or run them automatically.
