Organizations' interactions with customers, suppliers, partners, and their communities have become increasingly complex – often spanning across a range of digital ecosystems.

You’ll gain insights on emerging technologies, investigate real-world examples of companies using data to optimize their customer experience, and share ideas with peers from other organizations. Return to work with new, practical ways to improve how your team, department, or organization functions digitally.
