    Synchronizing global business services (GBS) and information technology (IT) is clearing a path to rapid digitization of business services. Having made significant progress in technology’s journey to Digital World Class™ performance, Albemarle took the bold step of placing its GBS and IT organizations under a single leader – the chief information and digital transformation officer. In this session, Patrick Thompson will discuss how this change has removed barriers, complexities and hurdles to speed up transformation progress. With combined oversight, the digitization of end-toend processes is easier to prioritize, engineer and deploy. Patrick will share how hiring and talent upgrades are also better coordinated now, achieving the goal of business digital services agility at a time when it is needed most.
