At the Telegraph Digital Leaders Conference, speakers with an outstanding track record in recreating their business model will provide detailed insights and case studies in to how successful organisations are revolutionising their internal structure, not only to compete with digital disruptors and new business models, but also to keep pace with market demands for innovative products and responsive channels of communication. Delegates will hear new ways that companies are driving their product innovation including data driven profiling and input from social media.
