They also talk through the role CFOs can take on to drive successful change efforts. Welcome to Inside the Strategy Room. Today, we're joined by Michael Bender, a senior partner in our Chicago office and the global coleader of McKinsey Digital and Analytics. We sat down with Michael in London, where he had just presented to our Global CFO Forum on the role CFOs can play in driving digital transformations. We also covered the nature of digital transformations more generally, how digital and analytics go hand in hand, and the challenges companies can face when working to adopt both. Michael, tell us just a little bit more about what is digital? What is a digital transformation? Michael Bender: Sean, it's interesting that we get this question all the time.
