iDisruptor Tech Talks

The New Frontier of Business Model Innovation

Before COVID-19, organizations were already navigating major secular trends like the digital transformation that fundamentally altered the business landscape.  The pandemic has accelerated digital transformation and ushered in new business models challenging firms to remain competitive in an increasingly connected, winner-take-all economy. 

These new business models have become the signature of the most successful companies through the pandemic. They are quickly distinguishing the companies that will thrive from those that will merely survive or worse. 

On September 23rd, our expert NMTC panel will explore the most impactful new business models affecting contemporary business.  We will examine areas such as cloud computing and the ability to deliver “everything-as-a-service.”  Artificial intelligence continues to unlock new insights, and incremental revenue streams as many organizations reinvent themselves as “digital-first” organizations.   

With our distinguished group of business and technology executives, we’ll discuss the latest product and service delivery innovations that create entirely new ways of working. 

These novel methods of delivering value, creating differentiation, and gaining market share are upending the shape of markets across sectors.  Join us as we examine many of the most critical business model developments in detail and learn how you can harness them to deliver new solutions at your organization

Understanding how we adapt to the Virus will affect society in 2021 is imperative to navigating its lasting repercussions and eventually overcoming it.

Starting our 5th year, this iDisruptor presented new technologies and new technology sectors emerging or grown at scale nine months into the pandemic and queuing you into what markets are baking into 2021, a result of the enduring effects of COVID-19.  Also, identifying new sectors paved by COVID-19 and technology prognostication that has and has not panned out at this critical juncture in the pandemic.

How our health will be made secure showcased by Medstar’s Telehealth, previously in its infancy before the pandemic but now conducting thousands of telehealth transactions each month.  This remarkable telehealth journey predicts if traditional medical appointment will ever be the same again.

Finally, the effect the 2020 election will have on COVID-19 government mitigation and financial markets.  Our distinguished group of speakers forecast what may be in store for business, technology, and what politics may cause, in the wake of one of the most consequential elections in recent history.

This tech-talk explored economic and technological aspects of this challenge.  It was a dive deep discussion on the future of work as COVID-19 has turned economic thinking upside down, leaving organizational leaders to consider new ways to work, and firms responding by rethinking the modern workplace and traditional management science.

This was the largest virtual tech event ever hosted by NMTC, and also the largest tech event his year.

A few organizations had multiple attendees on the talk, where afterwards, they would collaborate on the speaker’s points to contemplate how that would benefit their own organization.
