BRM: The Strategy to Closing the New Digital Divide
We all see it, hear it and experience it … digital disruption. We needed digital transformation during the COVID pandemic and were grateful for it. However, the digital world seems to be experiencing more disruption than transformation today. The continued, fast expansion of AI, Internet of Things, Smart homes, etc., has managed to catch people unaware. People are skeptical, frustrated and often walking away from emerging technologies. As BRMs, we are strategically positioned to help close the new divide by using or adapting the BRM frameworks and models. Join me as we put a different lens on the situation (hint: it isn’t about the technology, it’s about the business) and explore how you and your team can begin to close the divide.
