01. Agility For Strategy, Leadership & Organization
At the Speed of the Customer
Have you wondered how non-industry companies are disrupting traditional players? Or why smaller companies scale up so rapidly to displace large players? What is so different in how that shape strategy? What type of leadership is needed to be thriving in the disruptive world? This session takes you into a new approach to strategy for a world yet to be discovered. We help apply the three elements of agility to your company and explain the new world of business: There is no such thing as a single-industry company anymore, every business is a platform, data, and technology business, with technology and data, the lines blur even between seemingly dissimilar industries, for the customer, experience from one instance is immediately transferred to a completely different instance in real-time as an expectation, the future of the workforce is augmented—a mix of human full-time employees, gig talent, robotics, and AI-driven automation.

03. Innovation, Disruption & Leadership
Ideas Don’t Die. Companies Do.
This session takes you into a whirlwind of ideas centric strategies at the intersection of industries, technologies, interfaces and insights. We decode innovation for you. Camera as an idea transitioned from Kodak to Nokia Phones to the professional grade cameras in smart phones today. This has futrher evolved into Robotic Process Automation using computer vision to process insurance claims and present decision points to human managers.
Ideas transition through companies and it is fascinating to analyse how a same or similar idea has been used as strategy by different companies through history. Some of the most intriguing and successful products and services on the market today have existed in one form or another for decades or even centuries. For example, the idea of renting your house to another person has probably existed since people actually owned real estate. Even interface features like ‘Stories’ from snapchat found its way into Instagram, Facebook and has created the idea for the mass popularity of Tik Tok today. A number of individual companies rise and fall every year. The ideas that fuel them live on and wait the next bright entrepreneurial mind to bring them to life more effectively.
