In this webinar, CAS practice leaders share their strategies for effectively developing and executing this strategy. From adopting CAS 2.0® methodologies, developing a specialized tech stack design, and sharing insights into overcoming roadblocks, this expert-led discussion will leave you with practical knowledge to begin elevating your advisory services through a vertical approach.
