The Art of the Pivot

“Complexity is not going to go away. But if you can harness complexity and use it as a competitive advantage, think about what you could accomplish.”

Tony Hemmelgarn, President & CEO of Siemens Digital Industries Software, will guide you through the linkage of the virtual world to the physical through ‘digital twinning’. Discover the importance of digital simulations and feedback loops, why challenging your customers might sometimes be the best way to secure their loyalty, and why exactly industrial companies will be the ones to watch over the next ten years. Plus, you’ll learn a little bit about computational fluid dynamics relating to airflow through protective masks and airplane cabins. (Trust us, it will all make sense.)

“An acquisition is basically taking a thousand wires from one company, finding the right wire in the other one, and making sure they’re all connecting, so when you flip that switch, nothing breaks.”

Dominic Canuso, Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer at WSFS Bank (it’s pronounced ‘wiss fiss’) safeguards the legacy of one of the ten oldest banks in the United States. Of course, an institution doesn’t last that long without adapting when needed… Join Dominic to discover why price is rarely the most important factor in mergers & acquisitions, the surprising resilience of cash transactions, and how the role of the CFO has become more strategic over time— including why it can be fun to wear different (metaphorical) hats.

“Augmented intelligence is not only a feel-good kind of a term, but it is also the reality. We are far away from the perfect artificial intelligence.” 

Let Vinay Mummigatti, Chief Automation Officer at LexisNexis, cut through the noise around automation with a set of basic principles, relevant no matter your industry. These fundamental points include establishing your motivation to change (hint, it’s your customers), how to make sure you are automating a good process and not a bad process, and the importance of becoming a “prolific communicator.” You’ll also discover why many employees consider process-oriented thinking a revelation, and why managing global change is like navigating a large container ship through rough waters.

“All these cliches about hey, change is difficult, change is hard. But I am yet to meet a person to whom I can give a million dollar check and that person is going to tell me, “Oh, that’s too much change for me, I’m not going to take that million dollars.”

In her role as CIO of Regions Bank, Amala Duggirala is very familiar with the need to respond to changing customer expectations, and her insights on leading technological and organizational transformation are not to be missed. Discover why transformative leadership is more art than science, what impact ‘social proof’ can have on your initiatives, and the three pillars of effective leadership: the humility to listen, the courage to face reality, and the vulnerability to admit when you screwed up.

“Think about science fiction; they say that any sufficiently-advanced technology should be indistinguishable from magic.”

Join Dr. Gero Decker and Pankaj Chowdhry (founders and CEOs of Signavio and FortressIQ respectively) in conversation about the challenges of collecting accurate data on how work is actually done, why customer behavior has changed forever thanks to the pandemic, and what we need to do to prevent Skynet from taking over.
