About
You have a transformational product. You are growing quickly. You’re disrupting a market and focused on scale. You need operational agility to move fast, outperform the competition and capture your full market potential. The problem is that operations keep getting in your way. Hiring bottlenecks, identifying the right staffing model, geographical and regulatory complexities, unsustainable cost model, lack of tools and automation, and inefficiencies bog down your expansion plans, risking your product success, customer experience and unit sales growth.

In this VB On-Demand event, Art Cole interviews Praveen Raja and Michael Chittaro of Cognizant to discuss how fast-growing digital disruptors can identify opportunities to scale operations efficiently. You'll learn how to maintain your momentum while you evolve your product and business model, and get insights into the people, processes, and technology that can accelerate your growth.
