Walter Zondervan is a digital innovator who is always looking to help organisations reach their full potential. In his 20+ years of experience, he became fascinated with translating business goals into IT strategy. As a digital transformation strategist, he developed a comprehensive approach to this, which has been partially adopted by the BiSL® Next framework for business information management. Working with Brian Johnson on BiSL® Next, they decided to take it a step further and combine their insights to create a practical IT4B approach to digital transformation.
