Digitalization soundbites: Episode 1 - Corporate digital responsibility

Ask any senior business leader about their most important priorities and its likely that digitalization will be mentioned. Put simply, this means using new technology and data to cut costs, improve business processes or streamline customer experiences. The opportunities are great, with expectations that businesses will spend $10trillion+ in the next five years, but the risks are equally significant, and they need to be carefully managed to ensure that digitalization is a success. Eversheds Sutherland Partners Charlotte Walker-Osborn and Bill Dudzinsky talk with Thomas Sturge, Group Editor at Longitude, a Financial Times company, about the opportunities, risks and rewards of digitalization. They discuss why corporate digital responsibility is a phrase we will be hearing a lot more, as a term that is defining the commercial, legal, compliance, ethical, ESG, governance and oversight imperatives that companies need to consider when making decisions relating to technology and data.
