Today, we can announce that the next keynote speaker revealed at Digital City Expo will be Patrick Gormley, Head of Offering Development at Capita.
He spearheads the operations for the Headline Partner at Digital City Festival, Capita Consulting, and will speak on the value of disruption in the Keynote Theatre. Gormley has had more than 20 years of experience in consulting, technology and business services, and has previously worked as COO for Capco, as well as leading IBM’s Cognitive Process Services across North America.
Gormley said: “I’m going to be talking about the sheer scale of the challenge that organisations are facing. The decision is literally disrupt or die. It’s that binary.

“The average lifespan of a S&P 500 company has nose-dived from over 60 years to 18 years and falling. At this rate, 75% of the S&P 500 will be replaced by 2027. So it’s no surprise that the boards and C-suites we work with today rank disruption by new entrants at the top of their list of concerns keeping them awake at night.
“Incumbent legacy businesses are struggling to find the capacity and capability to keep up, and the gap between expectations and reality is growing wider over time. The pace of innovation is staggering, yet there’s a real demand for companies to operate with still more agility to address the needs of the business.
“While some organisations have made serious inroads into matching the digital experiences we have with Uber or Google, the majority of services are struggling to keep up with the demands and expectations of their customers. Many have gone a long way, but the challenge now is to move off the internet and into the market to deliver transformed and joined-up experiences.
“I’m looking forward to sharing my views on why delivering real digital change is more important than ever, then ask how we could deliver change in a more effective and innovative way.”
Gormley went on to say: “Our partnership with Digital City Expo is a reflection of the kind of business that Capita Consulting is – digitally driven, regionally relevant and part of the socio-economic fabric of the business communities it works in.
“We are positioning Capita Consulting as a challenger business that will help transform companies through digitally enabled technology, but drawing on Capita’s 30 years of practical experience in designing, building and running the systems and processes of hundreds of organisations. So an event like this is exactly the kind of conversation we want to be at the heart of.”
