For the past eighteen years PR agency Edelman has been measuring World Wide Trust levels. The 2017 version of their trust barometer showed a Total Meltdown of trust in corporations and institutions while at the same time the trust in technology continues to be remarkably high.
One explanation for putting so much trust in tech, is the high expectations people have about future technological breakthroughs. There's so much that remains to be desired: from self-driving cars to frictionless shopping experiences. But will technology be able to live up to those expectations or are we in for a massive disillusion?
In Code We Trust
Trust is defined as a confident relationship with the unknown. But we're far from comfortable looking at the unknown future. We clearly see how trust is shifting from the institutional hierarchies towards the network economy. Every organization is at risk of being disrupted by a more trusted version of itself. Organizations like Tripadvisor, Amazon and Airbnb are using reviews and ratings to organize our trust. But at the same time, they are so successful at monetizing their platforms, that trust is becoming a monopoly. Can we trust markets where so much power is in the hand of just a few companies?
And while trust is steadily shifting, our perception of what is real and what is not continues to be disrupted. Facebook, Twitter and Google have primarily based their business models on advertising. These so-called attention merchants are massively publishing clickbait content and fake news to draw us in. Can we really put our trust in their code organizing our lives while losing grip on the truth?
So, before we all take a huge leap into the unknown, we should reconsider how to organize trust in a sustainable manner. Can we distribute trust in technology-based solutions such as the token economy, autonomous intelligent systems and self-organizing platforms? Are we trust-ready for the next digital waves, for instance in biotechnology? What are our options really and what should we take into consideration before we decide who and what to trust?
- Will your company be disrupted by a more trusted version of itself?
- Can code really be trusted and how can the entire IT industry work to improve the status-quo?
- Will citizens and consumers take back control over their digital identity and data?
These are the questions we will address in this year’s edition of the Sogeti Executive Summit.
We will bring together a group of visionary thought leaders and executives from many different industries for a strategic dialogue to develop a perspective on ‘In Code We Trust ’.
It is with great pleasure that Sogeti’s Executive Management cordially invites you to attend the Annual Sogeti Executive Summit – US Edition that will take place in Chicago, Illinois on August 2-3, 2018.

Andrew Keen - How to fix the future Andrew Keen was among the earliest to write about the dangers of the Internet to our culture and society. Keen’s new book, How to Fix the Future, based on research, analysis, and Keen’s own reporting in America and around the world, showcases global solutions for our digital predicament. Keen identifies five broad strategies to tackle the digital future: competitive innovation, government regulation, consumer choice, social responsibility by business leaders, and education. How to Fix the Future has been called “the most significant work so far in an emerging body of literature…in which technology’s smartest thinkers are raising alarm bells about the state of the Internet, and laying groundwork for how to fix it” |

Four optional, state-of-the-art sessions are being planned immediately before the event beginning at 10:30 am CST—designed to spark conversations and give you the opportunity to hear experts share insights on specific hot topics.
Evolution of Business Logic from Monoliths, to Microservices, to Functions
As technology has progressed over the last decade, we’ve seen an evolution from monolithic applications to microservices and are now seeing the rise of serverless event driven functions, led by AWS Lambda. What factors have driven this evolution? We've seen the same service oriented architecture principles track advancements in technology from the coarse grain services of SOA a decade ago, through microservices that are usually scoped to a more fine grain single area of responsibility, and now functions as a service, serverless architectures where each function is a separately deployed and invoked unit. Large teams would work for months between releases of SOA components. Small teams down to a single developer would release microservices perhaps on a daily basis. One developer may release many functions many times a day.
Trusting the Actionable Data with AI
Business Intelligence (BI) is no longer a back office function that produces bulky PDF reports on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Actionable data enables organizations to leverage BI at the point of interaction with clients, suppliers, and employees. However if the data is not trustworthy, the strategy can backfire with disastrous results. The presentation will cover how IBM technology can help leverage AI to ensure the critical actionable data is trustworthy.
Beyond the Digital Twin
Learn how Microsoft is powering manufacturers’ digital transformation efforts by leveraging a combination of cloud and edge-based technologies, including high-performance computing, PLM, IoT, and advanced analytics. It's now possible to digitally connect and model physical assets and products—creating “digital twins”, and even go beyond the traditional, singular digital twin. But can these digital twin’s be trusted?
Smart Automation & Driving Intelligence Into QA
The definition of QA success today is completely different from what it used to be just few years back—now focusing on lifecycle automation (not just regression or functional automation), improving customer experience, and accelerating delivery. QA must be able to effectively keep up with the rapid pace of innovation required with today’s digital disruption and DevOps demands. In this session, along with CA, we will cover how smart automation and intelligence can help you proactively transform the testing function to assure business outcomes.
