Agenda

Modern business will be in the cloud and data will be the key resource. This is what drives digital, business transformation, change management and all of the underlying technologies that allow customers to succeed and thrive.

As companies begin to realize the importance of quality and value in their data, how should they be thinking about the right strategies for using, sharing, managing, analyzing and securing that data? This session will provide an overview of the current landscape and what strategies companies could deploy to maximize the value of their data.

“Convene + Detonate to compete” may seem like a counterintuitive idea. But in today’s tech-driven world convening with an unconventional partner or bringing your people together in new, different ways can help your organization be more competitive. Attend this session to learn more.

Compliance, data breaches, and digital transformation are just some of the drivers forcing a change in company strategy, culture, and structure. Rising demand for up-to-the-minute, high-quality data has put companies under more pressure than ever before. How can data be harnessed and applied in the most effective way?

The essential driver for growth is growing market share. Even if you have a solid base of customers that you can sell to on a continual basis, you likely need to grow by acquiring new customers. What kinds of strategies are companies looking at when it comes to customers and their experience of your brand?

Topics covered include identifying how hiring practices have changed, whether a culture of continuous learning is possible, and how leadership development is evolving.

In this session hear customers share their company’s experience and examine how they got their line of business stakeholders to come to the table and discuss their customer experience strategies.

In this session hear customers share their company’s experience and examine the drivers that helped steer finance conversations to better reflect valuation discussions. Topics covered include the changes in how businesses work with finance, the skillsets needed to continuously evolve for finance to remain transformational instead of transactional, and how data security and governance are maintained while driving innovation.

In this session hear customers share the key factors driving new technology needs and the skills needed to enable their companies to handle the diversity of data now and in the future. Topics covered include what considerations impact these decisions, what security looks like, and the safety features that need to be in place to create peace of mind.

In this session hear customers share their company’s experience driving organizational alignment across departments to increase visibility, improve information sharing, and drive efficiency beyond the supply chain. Topics covered include how supply chain and business strategies can align to create value beyond operational functions, what the supply chain of the future looks like, how technology creates opportunity, and how you can apply supply chain principles across other functional areas such as talent or relationship management, IT, and finance to create innovation.

AI and Machine Learning are fundamentally changing the way we work. Safra will discuss how AI will work with data and analytics to drive this technology.

Our world continues to rapidly evolve as uncertainty surrounding trade, economic growth, regulations, and geopolitics looms. At the same time, the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) is bringing emerging technologies that are pervading virtually every aspect of modern life, and affecting consumers, manufacturers, and cities. The very nature of 4IR rewards those who understand how to operate in this new digital environment. 4IR is gradually shaping how we live and work (and even play), while also ushering in a revolution of experience. Is your business ready to take advantage of this shift?

Artificial intelligence is becoming more and more commonplace, even in our daily lives (hello, Alexa, Siri). In business, AI and machine learning have a variety of uses today and the technology is becoming more and more useful.

How will we compete in the next decade? What skills will our workforces need to survive in a decade of total disruption and rise in AI? How do we hire, train, and retain the best talent and prime them for innovation? Simple: the skills that make us most human. That’s right, to succeed in the coming decades, the human workforce will need to embrace the parts of us that are exceedingly difficult to replace with artificial intelligence—traits such as creativity, intuition, curiosity, and imagination.

All change goes against the rules. Polly LaBarre arms leaders with a Maverick Manual to hack the status quo and ramp up originality, invention and game-changing disruption. The true work of leadership, she says, is inspiring, unleashing and simplifying human creativity, passion, and resourcefulness-creating a cultural DNA where the response to change happens almost as fast as change itself.
