General Session Humanizing Your Company Through Empathy, Resiliency, and Optimism
-
Peter Leonard, Regional Head of Customer Engineering, Google
There’s no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting life as we once knew it. Now more than ever, individuals are seeking comfort in what is arguably the most unsettling crisis of the past decade. Regardless of your company’s size, scope, mission, or culture, there’s an opportunity for each of us to play a role in being of service to those around us, be they our family members, colleagues, or community members. When optimism is balanced with realism, and vulnerability is balanced with a steady hand, we can each make a difference. In this session, I’ll share how I’ve witnessed individuals making a difference at an organization that operates on the global stage. -

General Session Prepare for Business Model Distribution: How Automation Will Change the World Post COVID-19
-
Fred Thiel, Chairman & Chief Advisor, Thiel Advisors, Inc.
The current pandemic is a Black Swan event that most companies never considered in any of their strategic planning. After years of focused efforts to make businesses more efficient including outsourcing supply chains far offshore, leaders are now tasked with effectively responding and executing major changes with little preparation just to keep their business alive. Fred will present a framework to drive innovation, resilience and agility in all of your business processes to support the need for flawless execution of rapid process changes in times of crisis or in response to competitive disruptions. -
