Top executive mindsets are being changed by the rapid digitalization of our lives and the ways we work, shop, and live. Nowadays, most CEOs do not still view technology as primarily being about cost savings. Instead, they recognize that if they want to delight customers, generate value for shareholders, and outperform their rivals, digital strategy, innovation, and operations must be a core strength of their organization. But only the most knowledgeable senior leaders are aware of the business necessity when it comes to digital risk management. These leaders take advantage of the chance to transform operational requirements into competitive advantages rather than obsessing over what could go wrong.
