Event Details

The current Covid 19 pandemic has drastically transformed the global economy overnight – many industries and companies contracted and disappeared swiftly while a select number of companies and industry players managed to thrive in this difficult environment. Why some organizations or individuals are able to transform themselves and thrive while others fail?

As Charlene Li points out, we have been thinking about disruption backward, as something to be avoided rather than embraced. With the unending crises we've endured over the past few months, it's essential to not only survive disruption but to learn how to thrive with it. Disruption creates opportunities for growth so we will look at pragmatic ways to embed disruption deeply into your strategy, leadership, and culture so that you grow exponentially during this uncertain time.

In this Webinar, Charlene Li will share her first hand experience working with some of the most successful and disruptive companies (Adobe, ING Bank, T-Mobile, etc.) make tough decisions in the face of daunting uncertainties: Should we bet our company's future on the next-generation customer or today's reliable one? Should we abandon our current business model for an entirely new one? How do we create the leadership and cultural transformation to drive and sustain disruptive growth?

Charlene will also cover some of the newer topics germane to professionals and business executives such as how to do strategic planning and prioritization in the face of uncertainty, how we have to show up as leaders differently now, especially with social inequality being a pressing issue.

Do not miss this great opportunity to interact with one of the country's leading digital transformation and growth strategies expert to build a practical transformation strategy for yourselves and your companies.
