Mphasis, a leading IT services and solutions provider and Knowledge@Wharton, the online business analysis journal of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, will host Transforming DnA: Disruptive Leadership in the Digital Age, a discussion to address the new digital reality and resulting challenges for many organizations. The half-day event -- open to C-level executives and the press – will take place on Tuesday, January 26, 2016 from 12:30pm – 6pm at Wharton San Francisco.

Top executives from major brands, leading journalists and faculty from the Wharton School are scheduled to participate. These include:

  • Gopi Kallayil, Chief Brand Evangelist, Google and Author, The Internet to the Inner-Net
  • Tom Gooley, Managing Director, LPL Financial
  • Mike Selfridge, Chief Banking Officer, First Republic Bank
  • Niels Aillaud, CDO, Whirlpool Corporation
  • Niloy Sanyal, CMO, GE Software, GE Power
  • Prith Banerjee, CTO, Schneider Electric
  • Tyler Wry, Assistant Professor of Management, the Wharton School
  • Mark Milian, Technology Editor, Bloomberg News

The discussion will focus on how participants’ companies are managing their traditional business while creating a new business model around imperative digital strategies.

“Duality is one of the toughest things to practice in any organization, it requires a very different leadership rhythm. Leaders will need to embark on a journey of self-transformation to change the way they think, the way they do business,” said Ganesh Ayyar, CEO and executive director of Mphasis. “Leaders globally trained in the analog world now have to steer not that large ship, but unleash hundreds of innovative canoes in digital waters. There is not a choice anymore – companies need to reinvent themselves and we as business and technology executives are responsible for navigating our enterprise in the digital revolution.”

The event (complete agenda accessible here and at http://knowledge.whartonevents.com/transforming-dna/) will also provide attendees with a sneak-preview to Knowledge@Wharton’s upcoming e-book, “Becoming Digital: Strategies for Business and Personal Transformation,” which explores three key themes: “Transforming the Leader’s Mindset, Becoming a Digital Master and Leading the Company after Self-transformation.”
