Fireside Chat with Retail Strategist and Author
Steve Dennis
Leaders Leap: Transforming Your Company at the Speed of Disruption
12:00 pm-1:00 pm EDT
Steve argues that most business transformations fail due to two fundamental reasons: their leaders don’t aim high enough, delivering only incremental change AND they move far too slowly to keep up with the rapid pace of disruption that exists today. Steve will discuss what has happened to retail leadership since the dawn of the Internet, how the pace of change has made old strategic frameworks useless, and what can the current generation of leaders do to avoid the fate of so many failed business transformations.
Our webinar will be moderated by RMS President Richard Baum and VP-Programming and Board Member Marie Driscoll. You won’t want to miss Steve’s unconventional views as we unbundle the key themes in his book.
