Digital marketing , often confused with digital transformation, is just one piece of that entire transformation puzzle. In a fireside chat at the DigiPlus Fest 2023, Geetika Mehta of Hershey India , shared her opinion on how business leaders view digital transformation . Mehta believes that the one thing which remains constant, is the challenge of connecting with consumers while the medium may change. She said, “An important aspect is to keep reminding ourselves that as digital transformation happens, you still want to speak with the same set of people, you still need to connect viscerally with them.” Mehta shared that the supply chain , marketing, finance, backend and HR have a digital leg to it. She said, “Making things done without human intervention is going to make the consumer experience smooth and faster. There’s hardly any function which is not impacted by digital transformation.” Emphasising on the name of the company, Mehta said, “ Hershey is our brand name, but it also has the […]

Permacrisis: Resilience Emerges As Key Focus For Digital Transformation In 2023

It’s clear that many industries are heading for turbulent times as we move further into 2023. Hangovers from the global Covid-19 pandemic are still affecting businesses as they struggle to overcome ongoing supply chain disruptions and worker shortages. Recessions are forecast in many parts of the world, and the war in Ukraine is causing unprecedented problems with energy and food production.

Commentary: North Charleston should seize an opportunity it might not see again

Commentary: North Charleston should seize an opportunity it might not see again

State Rep. Marvin Pendarvis. (Provided) The city of North Charleston should be proud of everything Mayor Keith Summey mentioned in his recent State of the City address. In many ways, the city has transformed greatly. Through Summey’s deft and wise guidance, North Charleston has become an attractive destination for industry, tourism and young families. He deserves much adulation for his work. I am proud to have benefited from the city that he helped build. Only 5 years old when he was elected, I owe the successes of my personal story, in large part, to the polity he ran. I am, in part, a product of his administration. If last month’s address was indeed his swan song, history will view him as the most transformative figure in the city’s first 50 years. For all his optimism, Mayor Summey acknowledges there are many suffering families, men, women and children who call this city home. So the city’s next leader will be tasked with ensuring that North Charleston’s prosperity is enjoyed by everyone. When I drive along the thoroughfares of this fair city, I see parking lots, low-density commercial strips and a commuter infrastructure that overwhelmingly favor cars over bikes, pedestrians and […]
