Digitalization - How do I stay relevant? Netlight Edge Academy 2017 - our initimite digitalization festival all over Europe - will give some answers. #edge, #edgeacademy17, #genuine consultant, #netlight

Do you know what? The world is changing - the world is digitalizing. And I'm so happy to be part of it, as I easily get bored and feel good about being part of something greater (than myself).

Digitalization is not about developing the best business plan, the best marketing plan and separately developing the best technology architecture. Digitalization is about pure business development where IT and IT architecture is part of your core business, not a support organization anymore. So, to compete in the digital race, IT Architecture must be a natural and crucial part of your every-day-business-development.

Yes, the world is changing and so must we, to stay relevant. 

How do I stay relevant? 

By working in a place as Netlight built on the strong foundation of change, knowledge sharing and supporting each other. A natural win-win for all parties - employed, clients and Netlight as a company.

Edge Academy, our intimate digitalization festival, is really our normal day-to-day knowledge sharing put on steroids for a week, all over Europe. During Edge Academy I pick the raisins of what I need to know to better help my current clients, feed my general curiosity or just get inspired of all the energy and engagement.

Looking at the smorgasbord of topics below one get a feeling for what digitalization is all about, what is currently relevant and what Netlight is currently doing. 
If you're working at Netlight, don't worry, most of the sessions will be available online in NetTalks  (internal access only). If you're not working at Netlight, of course we will help you in any way we can, just let us know how we can help.
