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. Legacy management, rigid processes and mindsets, and risk-averse cultures won’t help businesses compete at the speed and capacity that markets are demanding. But many executives are confusing digitization brought on by 2020 disruption with innovation. There’s a stark difference, however. The adoption of innovative technologies can offer a blinding illusion of making businesses innovative when in actuality, they’re digitizing yesterday’s processes.
Now, 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. The opportunity for leaders in this new world is to create space for creativity and imagination and an operating culture that helps people nurture their ideas into something transformative and meaningful to unlock new value. In an engaging and insightful, Brian will:
•Help attendees learn the difference between digitization and digital transformation as well as the defining qualities of iteration, innovation, and disruption

•Help the audience learn to collaborate, ideate, and help one another bring meaningful ideas to life
•Teach and motivate people to believe in themselves and change work routines to unlock new opportunitiesBusiness (R)evolution and New Leadership
•Digital Darwinism: How incumbent companies are making mistakes that are sealing their fates and how to do to survive and thrive in an era of digital Darwinism.
•Digital Transformation: The State and future of digital transformation and how it’s changing businesses at the very core.
•New Leadership: Rally your change agents and business mavericks to inspire change from within!

“But this is the way it’s always been done.” - Said no successful entrepreneur ever...
