Digital Transformation Is the Responsibility of Privacy Leaders Too

I recently attended the Shift Happens conference in Washington, D.C., which focuses on digital transformation within the modern workplace. Industry leaders and analysts as well as technology visionaries spoke about a number of hot topics, including artificial intelligence, the internet of things and the future of technology. The idea behind the conference is to bring technology thought leaders together with practitioners to spark discussion around where technology will take our world in the years ahead. With technology evolving faster than ever before and data being collected at previously unimaginable levels, it's critically important for business owners and compliance officers to understand and prepare so they can minimize future shock. These shifts in perspective were at the core of the session by Toni Townes-Whitley, president of regulated industries at Microsoft: "Digital Leadership: Insights from the Trenches."
