Roundtable on
Digital Strategies

April 23, 2010
Vevey, Switzerland


European Chapter
Members of the European Roundtable on Digital Strategies participated in a full day discussion to consider how, as we emerge from the economic downturn, companies currently face a new baseline, slower economic growth and increased uncertainty and risk. These circumstances call for continued cost-cutting yet simultaneous innovation and growth; a need for flexibility during a prolonged period of uncertainty; and a renewed focus on the customer experience and getting closer to the customer. Members will discuss the role of the CIO, digital strategies and technology to this end in the current marketplace. Nestlé hosted this Roundtable. [ more ]
