Enterprises and governments around the world are racing to adopt AI, cloud computing, and digital-first strategies to improve service delivery, operational efficiency, and application innovation. But despite heavy investments, many digital transformation initiatives fall short of expectations—not due to lack of ambition, but because of persistent gaps that are often overlooked.
In this keynote, I will dive into the critical gaps that challenge digital transformation efforts in both the public and private sectors. These gaps span organizational silos, fragmented cloud adoption, under-utilized data assets, security blind spots, rushed AI adoption, and the lack of strategic alignment between IT teams and executive leadership.
Through case studies from enterprise modernization projects, I will highlight what successful transformation looks like when governance, innovation, and agility are prioritized together. I will also address the importance of digital talent development, architecture standardization, and platform interoperability to ensure long-term resilience.
