The Transformation Kill Switch: Knowing When to cut Your Losses

A fireside chat on why organisations keep funding failing technology, and how to pivot to value. Join OMNIADIGITAL and C&A at ExCeL London.

About the session

The Biggest Drain on Growth Isn’t a Lack of Innovation

It’s the inability to pull the plug on failing technology strategies. Driven by a fear of losing sunk costs, organisations routinely burn millions on shelf-bound software and stalled implementations that generate zero commercial value.

In this high-energy fireside chat, we cut through the corporate noise to look at the cold, hard mechanics of digital maturity, using the pragmatic transformation frameworks we’re deploying with organisations right now.

  • Why sunk-cost thinking keeps failing projects alive
  • The signs a technology strategy has stopped delivering value
  • How to make the call to stop, and what to do next
  • Practical frameworks for pivoting to value
