  • Juliana Goga-Cooke, CEO, Academy of Design Thinking and Senior Lecturer at the Institute for Design Innovation, Loughborough University London (confirmed)
"Design Thinking"

The world is changing at an unprecedented pace. Digital technologies are helping small and big companies to transform the way they deliver products, services, experiences, how they build capability and transform the way they work. Designing a suitable digital strategy is about going back to fundamentals, e.g. what is the service that people need as opposed to digitalising what is done already? Digital provides opportunities that people might not have imagined possible 10 years ago. However, all too often people do not understand or cannot visualise the opportunities or how to obtain them. But digital transformation is first and foremost about people! Dr. Juliana Goga-Cooke makes the case for how human centred approach is helping organisations adopt a mindset of empathy, experimentation, radical collaboration and use frameworks that give people processes and methods how to create value for customers, the company and the society.

  • Adi Chhabra, Senior Product Manager - Artificial Intelligence, Vodafone (confirmed)
"Exploring the Evolution of AI & Machine Learning in Customer Experience"

Often when a new technology has its breakthrough; it’s impact is only felt in hindsight. But it's different with AI and ML. Adi will talk about how these technologies will define the interfaces/experiences of the future.

12:50
  • Rahna Riley, Digital Services Lead, Rochdale Borough Council (confirmed)
"Building usable digital services"

Building digital services that are both customer and outcome focused are massively important to help make the desired savings and cultural changes. Find out how we made huge savings and relentlessly focused on making iterative improvements which contributed to lasting changes.

13:10
  • Adam Rowlands, Director of Digital, British Red Cross (confirmed)
"Using Digital to meet the needs of those in crisis"

As one of the largest voluntary organisations in the UK, the British Red Cross is in a unique position to help transform how we enable people to leverage ‘the power of kindness’ to support those in crisis across the UK and overseas. The potential is huge – using digital to transform how we support refugees, help communities prepare for (and respond to) emergencies and support those with acute independent living needs to name but a few. However, we are not immune to the challenges facing other organisations in the sector – legacy tech, restricted funding, and discrete user/funder expectations. Hear about the journey we’re on to both drive the digital transformation of key services and enable the broader changes necessary to meet the increasing expectations of service users.
