As industries transform, companies must ask themselves: what new opportunities are shaping the future, and how can their unique cultures advance to seize them? Leaders have a pivotal role in guiding their organizations to work differently to build the culture they need to thrive in these times while modeling the behaviors that will define this cultural shift. This panel will explore the following questions:
What emerging customer needs or market conditions will drive change in your industry?
How do you envision your culture advancing to capture these future opportunities?
How can your executive team lead the way in demonstrating the shift in culture and behavior?
