About the session
Ever-accelerating change and disruption keep putting extreme pressure on companies and individuals. At the same time, technological, scientific, and social advances bring new opportunities that can either destroy our business or become our next competitive advantage. So how can we survive - and even thrive? The answer is the one you’ve heard before: We must consistently remake who we are and how we deliver value to the world. “Built to last” is no longer acceptable: today, we must “build to reinvent”. In this session, Nadya will talk about how to develop the skills and system to reinvent ahead of disruption.
