This energizing and enlightening session is a roadmap for success on your exponential journey. Technology is not just what we use, it's how we think. It's essential to have the right mindset to go with the right toolset. Many organizations struggle to become exponential because our mental models were formed in the industrial age. We need to adopt new models that unlock the power of network effects to achieve exponential results. Change is like a trapeze -- you don't let go of the old bar until there is a new one within reach. Participants will discover the seven shifts reshaping value creation in a digital age. For example, the shift in organization from hierarchy to network and the shift in change from continuity to discontinuity. They will also learn how to "mind the gaps" of the exponential journey -- how to convey a compelling vision, address stakeholder expectations, design new metrics and assemble vital resources. The result is an actionable playbook for embracing the unknown and becoming an ambidextrous organization that is both incremental and exponential.
