How to Innovate: The Key for Countries, Companies and People Innovation is the buzzword of the moment. But what does it actually mean? How does one innovate — as a country, a company, or an individual? Fareed Zakaria offers a controversial perspective deeply rooted in facts and data. He points out that many of the key indicators of innovation — excellence in science testing, for example — simply do not work. He does what few experts do: Look around the world and through history for examples of innovation. He takes you to Sweden and Israel, to Germany and Japan, and back in time to the sewing machine and the electric light bulb to shed light on innovations taking place right now, and innovations we are going to see unfold. The result is a startling, original understanding of the topic, one that will change the way you think about innovation.

Leading at Mach 2 All great leaders have a system for driving peak performance. This hard-charging, high-impact keynote offers your leaders the straightforward, critical tools that U.S. fighter pilots such as Anthony “AB” Bourke employ to lead their wingmen into the demanding environment of aerial combat. Learn how the best fighter squadrons and the best businesses in the world hire future leaders, how they then properly train those individuals, and continually promote a process of continuous improvement to stay one step ahead of the competition.

Industry Keynote: How Operations Became a Topline Contributor to Nokia’s Growth Recently, Nokia undertook a significant strategic initiative to build a more customer-responsive supply chain. The results were impressive and there were some surprises. Most notably, operations became a pivotal accelerator to the company’s overall growth! In his presentation, Johannes Giloth discusses the business case for a customer-segmented approach to supply chain as well as an innovation approach to create a digital supply chain that embraces the entire ecosystem, accelerating business growth and expansion in new markets.

Biogen’s Journey: Building the Neuroscience Supply Chain Over the past several years, Biogen has invested in its supply chain people, process and technology to cope with surging growth and complexity. By focusing on the “Path to Patient” for specialized medicines, its supply chain journey has tackled implementation of cold chain capabilities, serialization and product life cycle management. This keynote focuses on that journey and its most compelling challenge — designing for the future.

Gartner keynotes

Move to Mastery: Innovate, Disrupt and Scale the Digital Supply Chain Digital business is real, but how will supply chains innovate, disrupt and scale to create value? How can you leverage the power of people, organizations and technology to achieve the level of mastery required to succeed? This Gartner keynote provides practical advice and inspiration — no matter where you are on your digital journey.

The Future of Supply Chain Digital is a megatrend that reshapes everything. In the world of supply chain it means much more than faster processes and lower costs — by connecting billions of nodes of supply and demand, it opens radical new ways to make more of the global supply chain. The strategic implications include at least three fundamental changes all supply chain leaders must make: 1. Understand, develop and exploit personalization with applied customer-centricity in all businesses, 2. Accept and master the transparency, accountability and risk that come along with digitalization, and 3. Recognize and invest in people as the future of work demands radical change. This keynote looks over the horizon to see where digitalization is taking us, and how supply chain leaders can use it to their greatest advantage.
