    Session Title: Drivers Transforming the C-Suite – Case of Change

    Description:

    Workshop where all attendees will have an input on developing a framework for the future C-suite

    The need to transform is clear. As new, innovative companies crop up, and as traditional competitors go digital, the race for customers has never been higher. Organizational transformations arise due to digital, customer centricity, client experience, employee experience, agile, robotics and AI

    Technological progress is changing the business landscape beyond recognition. Now, companies must mirror this transformation inside of their organizations. Those that resist this technology led “4thindustrial revolution” will find it difficult to satisfy consumer demands for instant, personalized service, finding it nearly impossible to survive.

    Many have identified that a new breed of leadership is required, thereby transforming the C-suite to successfully take organizations into the future. New roles have been invented focusing on emerging challenges. Executive titles that didn’t exist a few years ago (chief technology officer, chief transformation officer, chief of innovation, chief of information security, and chief data officer, Chief Customer Officer) are becoming commonplace.

    Considerations

    • Making sense of the key drivers necessitating C-suite transformation
    • C-suite roles (existing, new or to be invented) that are necessary
    • Identify enduring and important traits for leading in the digital age and through transformations
    • Identify the biggest obstacles that can derail transforming the C-Suite
    • Identify the biggest obstacles that can derail transforming organizations
    • Important steps to consider in aligning a new C-Suite
    • Learnings can be taken from C-suite teams that have successfully transformed their organizations
