In this hyper-dynamic world where every enterprise is facing challenges with talent attraction and retention, speed to value, and impediments to transformation, it is crucial for leaders to take a step back and rethink/reimagine how we transform. Nurturing a culture of empathy and innovation is essential and this session provides a powerful framework to help organizational leaders achieve their strategic and business outcomes.
