Gartner Opening Keynote: Turning Divergence into Advantage
Lindsay Azim,
Director Analyst, Gartner
A new world order or old-world norms? An AI revolution or an AI evolution? Surging growth or global stagnation? Businesses face a set of divergent realities sending mixed signals, drawing attention away from what is most important to deliver value. The supply chain sits at the nexus of these trends and is in a unique position to turn divergence into advantage for the enterprise. Our opening keynote will explore how we experience divergence, and how you can deliver on enterprise ambitions by navigating through the noise, orchestrating dynamic outcomes, and accelerating supply chain innovation.

Guest Keynote: The Never Normal
Peter Hinssen,
Entrepreneur, Keynote Speaker and Author, Nexxworks
We’re at a crossroads. Certainly since the COVID-19 crisis but even before that, we have been evolving into a world with many new types of disruptions. There’s this potent cocktail of global platforms, information, intelligence, and automation that is accelerating the pace of change. But technology is no longer the biggest driver of disruption. What’s coming at us is ecological, biological, societal and geopolitical in nature and this is just the beginning. These many disruptions are going to evolve into seismic shocks that will completely overturn how we live and work. Think about the rising sea levels we might experience in coming decades. Or pandemics like COVID-19. Or the cold (trade) war between the US and China.

Guest Keynote: Look Again - How to Notice and Change
Tali Sharot,
Author and Professor, Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London and MIT
Have you ever noticed that what is exciting on Monday tends to become boring on Friday? Even passionate relationships, stimulating jobs, and breathtaking works of art lose their sparkle after a while. As easy as it is to stop noticing what is most wonderful in our lives, it’s also possible to stop noticing what is terrible. People get used to dirty air. They become unconcerned by their own misconduct, blind to inequality, and are more liable to believe misinformation than ever before. Based on her new book Look Again, Sharot shares what psychology and biology tell us about why we stop noticing both the great and not-so-great things around us and how to regain sensitivity – seeing, feeling and noticing – in the office, at home, online, and at the store, so we can enjoy what is good and change what’s not.
