Digital Safari: Health Tech and Media

Topics: Big Data / Analytics Culture Enterprise IT Global Marketing / Sales Operations

On Friday, October 23, the Center for Digital Strategies and the Center for Health Care are excited to host the first-ever Digital Safari for Fellows of both centers.

The goal of this program is to expose students interested in digital strategies and innovation to the various challenges and opportunities that exist for companies in the health care and streaming/media industries in the current business environment, especially in light of COVID-19.

Some of the topics/questions to be covered include (but are not limited to):

  1. Hear a brief summary of the challenges, reactions, and business impact presented by the crisis.
  2. Provide a deep dive on the actions: what changes do executives/leaders feel are reactionary in order to stay relevant, and what changes have they made that they feel will remain strategic pillars of their business model post-COVID?
  3. What have been the biggest changes in strategy thus far?
  4. What are some of the unanswered issues and challenges these companies/executives currently face? How are they going about solving for these?
  5. How do they see customer behavior changing today and what implications, if any, does this behavior have on how they’re planning for the future?
