Digital Transformation in 2021: Where Have We Been and Where Are We Going?

Sponsored by JHU Affinity Groups and Communities

Digital Transformation and Change Management are not going away post-COVID, even in workplaces that will aim for in-person (i.e., non-remote) operations. How does your company balance maximizing ROI and meeting people where they are? Join us as industry thought leaders in this emerging space share their thoughts. Together, we'll discuss recent lessons learned in the Change Management space and how these lessons can enable us to build a happier and more productive workforce for tomorrow. If you have question for our panelists, you may email them to Margia Arguello at marguel1@jhu.edu. You will also be able to ask questions during the program. The program will be presented on Zoom. A link will be shared with all registrants in advance of the program.
