B2B relationships are inherently complex, with buying cycles that can stretch for months, with multiple decision-makers and influencers along the way. High-value deals—and company reputations—are often on the line. Yet B2B has always been, at its core, about people.
Discover insights that can help you humanize the B2B experience in an increasingly digital world. Listen in as Deloitte customer experience and transformation professionals explain how industry leaders today are using digital capabilities to deepen trust and relationships—sharing findings from Deloitte’s latest sales research.

The buzz: “Data in the 21st century is like oil in the 18th century: an immensely, untapped valuable asset. Like oil, for those who see data’s fundamental value and learn to extract and use it there will be huge rewards” [www.wired.com]. The digital world around us is supported by the evolving ecosystem of applications and services. Data flowing into this ecosystem is consumed in use case scenarios that help businesses drive better insights. The process of turning ‘crude’ data into meaningful Information makes it analogous to the oil running our machines. Now organizations are striving to reduce technology debt by utilizing machine learning algorithms and statistical models to derive business decisions. How can organizations evolve to meet these challenges? We’ll ask Amy Withrow at KraftHeinz and Harpreet Singh at Deloitte for their insights on The Kinetic Enterprise: Data Is The New Oil.
Major advances in data and analytics technologies in recent years have helped rewrite the modernization playbook. Gone are the days when a new ERP solution had to be fully implemented before an organization could activate comprehensive data-driven analytics capabilities and get actionable insights for decision-making. To transform their data into intelligence, many organizations are turning to solutions with in-memory computing capabilities. Getting maximum value from these technologies, however, requires an “analytics first” mindset platform approach—to quickly address specific and complex insights-related needs, which can vary by industry, organization, and department. This approach prioritizes access to existing and emerging data as an integral part of large-scale enterprise solution transformations. Join us as Deloitte’s Arman Haroutunian and Gil Gomez discuss The Kinetic Enterprise: Gaining Enterprise Insights Through an Analytics First Approach.

The buzz: “Money is of no value; it cannot spend itself. All depends on the skill of the spender” (Ralph Waldo Emerson).

Companies today often can forget that they are in the “human experience” business—not just the business of selling products and services. Meanwhile, today’s rapid pace of technological change can leave customers feeling disconnected from a meaningful experience when engaging with businesses. Join us as we unpack this timely topic with a panel of Deloitte professionals who not only believe in elevating the human experience, but who have worked with clients to deliver results through a “human first” approach that includes customers, employees, and partners.
“Built to last” has been the prevailing paradigm for business, but it has its limitations. It implies that transformation is a one-time journey—with a single destination. And it implies that what we know about business today remains true, eternally. But with the pace of disruption increasing at all levels of business, the journey never really ends. Deloitte advocates a paradigm shift—from “built to last” to “built to evolve.” This new vision is not about a perfect end-state, but about ready capability. It is not about a single destination, but about any destination. In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy it possesses due to its motion, the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Ginni Rometty, President, Chair and CEO of IBM, expresses this: “Growth and comfort do not coexist.” Join us to hear from Deloitte and senior IT executives about how businesses can shift—and need to shift—toward the Kinetic Enterprise™.
