Topic:
Solving the Right Problems: The Evrotrust Model for Navigating Transformation
Language: English 
Digital transformation is often misunderstood as simply digitizing existing processes. However, in industries like legal services, finance, and public administration, where regulations, trust, and legacy systems dominate, the stakes are higher, and the path to transformation is more complex.
Evrotrust is a standout example of how thoughtful disruption can occur within these constraints, offering a real-world case study for innovators, policymakers, and corporate leaders alike. By sharing this journey, Prof. D. Sc. Dimitrov connects theoretical frameworks to tangible outcomes, grounding digital transformation in societal impact, not just technological change.
At its core, the session will explore the shift from problem-solving to problem-framing. In business, speed is often valued over substance. Prof. D. Sc. Dimitrov advocates for a deliberate approach to innovation – one that begins with asking the right questions and building for long-term trust and scalability. His insights emphasize:
- The ethics of design in high-stakes systems (e.g., digital identity, legal tech)
- Systemic thinking in navigating the transformation
- The value of purpose and trust in innovation
- How regulation can be a driver, not a blocker, of change
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the Evrotrust framework for digital transformation within highly regulated industries.
- Identify what it means to “solve the right problem” and why this mindset is critical to achieving sustainable, scalable innovation.
