The case study covered where the company started and why, who we started with, the success rate &#8211; how do the company knows they made the right choice and succeeded when the statistics everywhere tell of a failure rate upwards of 80%? What was learned? Where to next?<\/p>\n<p>Stage 1 of the journey is on the precipice of go-live. There is nothing more valuable than tapping into the knowledge and experiences of peers and in that context, Sara initiated a discussion \u2013 what would you have chosen? What would you choose next? Why? And explored alternative ways of working through a similar journey.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT SARA DRAKEFORD<\/strong><br \/>\nSara is an experienced IT leader who has headed up IT functions in national and international organisations over 20 years with specific experience in the digital transformation journey primarily in the travel industry and more recently the FMCG space. Her strengths are in simplifying complexity and the delivery of organisational efficiencies primarily via business process improvement with technology aiding rather than leading the change.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2913\" src=\"https:\/\/focusnetwork.co\/cioleadersaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2018\/03\/Hallmark-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"177\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/focusnetwork.co\/cioleadersaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2018\/03\/Hallmark-1.jpg 177w, https:\/\/focusnetwork.co\/cioleadersaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2018\/03\/Hallmark-1-125x71.jpg 125w, https:\/\/focusnetwork.co\/cioleadersaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2018\/03\/Hallmark-1-75x42.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 177px) 100vw, 177px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sara Drakeford, IT Director Asia Pacific, Hallmark Cards Australia presented &#8220;Our digital transformation journey \u2013 modernising a traditional FMCG [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":106,"featured_media":3203,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3199","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 -
