New Seminar Series
Seminar 1: Measuring Digital Transformation Maturity
DIGIT Lab’s inaugural seminar of 2022, ‘Measuring Digital Transformation Maturity’, was presented by Professors Youngjin Yoo (Case Western Reserve University) and Associate Professor, Nicholas Berente (University of Notre Dame).
Professor Yoo is widely recognised to be one of the foremost scholars on digital innovation. His papers on layered modular architecture and the generative potential of digital technologies are recognised to be seminal work in the digital economy. He was joined by Nicholas Berente who studies how AI drives institutional and organizational change. Together they provided an introduction to a research program they are launching together with a network of scholars around the globe to assess the maturity of digital transformation. The initiative is led by xLab at Case Western Reserve University which aims to understand, adopt and implement new business models to compete in the new digital economy.
