The document summarizes a presentation on the Met Police's digital transformation projects and migrating services to the cloud. It discusses how the Met Police aims to empower officers with digital tools to reduce paperwork and access information from any device. This allows them to focus on priority work. The transformation was large but shows other police forces can also modernize. The Met engaged staff and customers. Migrating to the Episerver cloud on Microsoft Azure provides scalability, security and cost benefits. The presentation emphasizes that we are in a time of great change, and organizations must adapt to survive.

9. Keynote: Acceleration in the era
of chaos and change
Talk by: Igor Beuker

10. We are in the age of the forth industrial revolution
• Currently in a chaotic changing time – but chaos is opportunity
• Adapt to survive
• Our way of building businesses is often based on the assumption that the future is
going to be like the past
• Don’t be scared of this new industrial revolution – all the past ones created more
jobs and wealth, why should this one be any different
Acceleration in the era of chaos and change
It is not the strongest of the species th
at survives, nor the most intelligent th
at survives. It is the one that is most a
daptable to change.
Charles Darwin

11. The new generation
• The new generation lives through an interface, it
changes their behaviour – other generations find it
hard to understand
• They will swipe brands to one side like they do Tinder
profiles
• They start out their careers as CEO and Founder – a
social status
• They are ‘always on’ hyperconnected tech ninjas
Acceleration in the era of chaos and change

12. Math Men
• Don’t think of the ROI, the real question is:
What is the risk if I don’t do this?
• They look at the world differently,
innovatively, 10 steps ahead (and the gap is
widening all the time)
• Most brands have embraced mobile first, well
that’s old news, Math Men are now embracing
AI first – Google have just made the switch
• “I skate where the puck is going
to be, not where it has been”
(Wayne Gretzy)
Acceleration in the era of chaos and change
Mad Men
• Most dangerous statement: “We have
always done it this way”
• Boardroom with head in the sand – “we
don’t think it’ll last”, “we don’t believe in ….”
• “But in my industry it’s different” - it’s not,
all industries are evolving
• It’s just a gimmick, it’s just hype
• I need to see a business case, what is the
ROI? I need to know what will happen
• …leads to “we didn’t see this coming!”

profits decline by 40% in 3-5 years
27% of inaction is radical, company profits
decline by 30% in 1-3 years

Innovation
86% of innovation is low risk, it generates
30% of company profits
14% of innovation is radical, it generates
70% of company profits

15. Engaging with the audience
“Brands are becoming media outlets”
• Today you can still buy media, but you can no
longer buy attention. You have to earn it
• It’s not about buying ‘likes’ - that is just an ego
boost, it’s not a true reflection of loyal customers
• Beyond one-size-fits all TV campaigns, it’s about
personalised experiences and content
• Facebook & Google – good examples of media
owners masquerading as technology companies
