About this event

The aim of this webinar was to provide information on the impact and the changing role of robotics for the good governance of businesses in the digital era.

Background Information

With the increase in the level of maturity in digital transformation, we observe that robotic applications are becoming widespread in businesses. In this context, we will create a knowledge-sharing platform with representatives from the business world and academia in our webinar event, where we will discuss the new business dynamics and the impact of robotics on the business environment based on a good governance perspective.

What you will learn in this session

Considering the increasing speed of digital transformation and the scale of the investments made into intelligence systems, it is important for business executives and decision-makers to be aware of the latest point reached. The aim of this event is to create awareness about the developments and needs in the business world, and to reveal the perspective of the academy, which has a role in the preparation of qualified human resources that can meet these needs. 

 

Through the harmony and coordination that emerges in the business world, it will be possible for business professionals to produce value-added strategies for robotic process implementations to achieve good governance. In order to contribute to this good governance process, we invited esteemed guest speakers who have practical and theoretical experience in this field.

Benefits of attending

Webinar was designed to benefit executives, internal auditors, internal controllers, and risk managers of public and private institutions, IT professionals responsible for the management of information technologies in organizations, and the academics who are interested in doing applied work in this field, i.e., digital transformation, robotics applications, AI implementations and block-chain technologies.
