Keynote Topic:  Disruptive digital transformational change and interdisciplinary sense

When we talk about “disruptive digital transformational change,” we are referring to the profound and often radical changes that organizations undergo by leveraging digital technologies to disrupt existing norms, markets, and industries.

Interdisciplinary thinking involves the collaboration and integration of knowledge, methods, and approaches from multiple academic or professional disciplines to solve complex problems or address multifaceted challenges. In this context, “sense” refers to the ability to perceive, understand, and make meaningful connections between different disciplines and domains of knowledge.

When we discuss “interdisciplinary sense,” we are highlighting the importance of individuals or teams having the ability to draw upon insights and methodologies from diverse fields to drive innovation and problem-solving. Disruptive digital transformations often aim to improve user experiences. Interdisciplinary teams can ensure that the end-users’ needs and preferences are considered from various angles, leading to better-designed solutions. In summary, disruptive digital transformational change and interdisciplinary sense go hand in hand in the modern business landscape.
