Total Enterprise Reinvention is a deliberate strategy that aims to set a new performance frontier for companies and in most cases, the industries in which they operate. Centered around a strong digital core, it helps drive growth and optimize operations.
Total Enterprise Reinvention isn’t a to do; it’s a to be. It requires continuous, dynamic reinvention. It becomes a unifying force across the C-suite and every function and business area, because, by definition, all are involved and accountable for its success. And it requires new skills and an increased depth of understanding of technology, change management, communication and how to leverage partners to achieve results faster.
Join us as we bring to life how Total Enterprise Reinvention can disrupt and drive operational excellence.

Startups are often agile and innovative with a high tolerance for risk, while incumbents have established brand recognition, resources, and customer relationships. By collaborating, startups can leverage the resources and scale of incumbents to accelerate their growth, while incumbents can tap into the innovative and disruptive ideas of startups to stay ahead of the competition. Together, the two can disrupt the status quo and transform the way organizations collaborate and operate for the better.
In this closing session, leaders will explore exciting questions about the future of startup and incumbent partnership: What does it take for successful collaboration?
