Disney’s Digital Transformation efforts @dadovanpeteghem @sdwouters
We’re always looking out for companies with great Digital Transformation efforts. Disney is one of the best examples we have seen thus far. Their leadership, investment in digital, and research & development are astonishing. We believe other organizations can learn a lot from what Disney is doing, so sit back, and watch their magic.
Leadership
Bob Iger, the 64 year old CEO (and “CTO”) of Disney since 2005, who has been asked to stay until 2018. “The riskiest thing you may do is maintain the status quo.” “Bob Iger is the architect of Disney’s current success, with a proven history of delivering record financial results for the company quarter after quarter and year after year. Under his tenure, Disney has reached unprecedented creative and financial heights, driving the stock price to record levels and creating extraordinary value for shareholders. He has transformed Disney’s culture and empowered its businesses to effectively capitalize on evolving markets and new technologies, making Disney a company that doesn’t merely embrace change, but leads it.”~Orin C. Smith, independent lead director of the Disney board. http://variety.com/2014/biz/news/disney-extends-bob-iger-contract-through-2018-1201319561/
