In this special CEO.digital episode, we speak to four industry-leading innovation and security executives to discuss Hybrid Maturity. Between them, we unpack the impact of the pandemic disruption, how hybrid has grown, and what businesses need to do to reach a mature hybrid state.
On the wake of the biggest business disruption in recent memory, innovation and security leaders have been at the forefront of enterprise responses, achieving functional hybridisation of their workforces under immense pressure in no time at all. Those same leaders are now looking to the future of hybrid work to build their best possible version of it at their enterprises. In this special panel episode of the CEO.digital Show, we picked their brains on all of the above and more.
Joining us to dive into these hot button topics were Kurt Frary (Norfolk Council), Chris Voce (Citrix), Seshu Venkata (Wipro), and Michal Niezurawski (DB Schenker). Between them, they offer an immense variety of experience and expertise that brings a multitude of perspectives to our conversation.
