Connected CEO™ is Frost & Sullivan's leadership platform that empowers CEOs to survive and thrive in the Intelligence Revolution by leading enterprise transformation, prioritizing growth opportunities, and accelerating transformational growth.
Why Do Most Transformations Fail? Why Implementation Has Become the New Competitive Edge
Connected_CEO

A leadership perspective from David Frigstad, Chairman & CEO, Frost & Sullivan.

Every leadership team has a strategy. Most have identified the right growth opportunities. Many have invested heavily in technology, AI, innovation, and transformation. Yet nearly 70% of strategic transformations fail to create lasting business value.

Why?

Because the real challenge is no longer strategy, it is implementation.

Redefining Border Security: How Thales Is Building Trusted Digital Identity for Seamless Travel

As governments modernize border security, travel identity is shifting from document-led verification to connected, data-led decision-making. Agencies are under pressure to accelerate passenger movement, strengthen identity assurance, protect personal data, and maintain security across increasingly complex border environments.

In this Movers & Shakers conversation with Frost & Sullivan, Emmanuel Wang, Vice President, Border & Travel, Identity & Biometrics Solutions at Thales, discusses how digital identity, biometric authentication, artificial intelligence (AI), and system integration are reshaping border management. The discussion examines the shift toward passport-free travel, AI-enabled walk-throughs, trusted traveler processing, and interoperable border systems that can help governments deliver faster, safer, and more seamless travel without weakening privacy, ethics, or operational resilience.
