Description: In a guided discussion, participants will take part in a roundtable session addressing two case studies on the topics of innovation and technology.

1. You’ve been given a budget to build out your online portal/app -- what are the top 3 capabilities you want to develop? I.e. e-contracting, automatic rehash tool, online chat, accepting payments?
2. Now that you've developed your online portal/app - your company is requiring all your dealer partners to use it, however, they are struggling to integrate it into their processes. How are you going to encourage your dealers to leverage digital capabilities that your company has invested time and money into?
