The Future Company: Culture and Capacity

Accelerated change driven by exponential growth in technology as well as a hyperconnected and interdependent global economy have dramatically reduced the lifespan of products, services and traditional business models. In this new reality, we can no longer rely on the old way of doing things but must shift our focus to two critical elements: culture and capacity.

Culture is the external expression of the brand and the internal operating systems of how the organization creates value. Capacity is the organization’s ability to respond to challenges.

Waves of digital transformation and exponentially growing technological capability will demand continuous expansion of capacity. Attend this session to understand why companies that endure and thrive will be those that can clearly articulate and nurture their culture while continuously expanding their capacity.

Leadership 2.0: Leading Past Digitization to Build a Culture of Innovation

A new generation of leaders must build innovative organizations by breaking free from the rigid processes and risk-averse cultures that hold companies and employees back. Business models weren’t the only thing disrupted when the world became digital-first overnight. Leadership itself needs a Ctrl-Alt-Del to compete in this new and still evolving world.

Today’s leaders must reassess how digital technologies, evolving behaviors and expectations, and innovative leadership and operating models can lead to the creation of new market value. Otherwise, executives will get stuck in a finite cycle of trying to succeed in a digital economy with a pre-digital value proposition.

In this session, you will learn the difference between digitization and digital transformation and understand how to empower collaboration and change to unlock new opportunities.
