Session 1: New Approach to Strategic Planning
More and more, organizations are moving from traditional strategic planning methods to enrolling into a transformation model. Transformational planning is a framework designed to help organizations understand their business model, better meet their customers’ needs and guide a successful redesign to meet the new challenges ahead.
Transformational planning is the process of developing a strategic plan for adapting an enterprise's business processes through the modification of policies, procedures, and processes to move the organization from an "as is" state to a "to be" state. It also means asking tough questions about customer needs, delivery of traditional services and using technology to both leverage the strategic planning process and track ongoing performance to plan.
Session 2: Practices that attract and retain employees
In today’s tight labor market, organizations have to use a two-pronged approach to talent: first, determining how to find the best talent available in the marketplace and, second, focusing on retaining current employees. In addition to implementing retention practices such as career blueprints, mentoring programs and succession plans, other dynamics come into play, such as understanding the needs of each generation. This session highlights these topics and more!
Session 3: Digital transformation: Unlocking true potential
Digital has already revolutionized the way organizations of every shape and size conduct business, manage their operations and engage. No one is immune to the disruptive threats — and tremendous opportunities — available through digital. During this session, Marcie, Sara and Billy will unpack the organizational requirements, essential tooling and evolutionary client-first mindset that must be present for financial services to unlock the true potential of digital within their organizations.
Session 4: Keynote — The future economy: Opportunities for growth
The world is going to see more economic change in the next five years than we have seen in the last 100 years. The year 2022 will be transformational as trends super-charged by the pandemic fully exert themselves on the economy. AI, robots, Zoom, ESG and bitcoin are just a few of the extraordinary tools being leveraged right now to help business overcome, adapt and thrive. Are you aligning yourself for what will occur? Andrew Busch dives deep into exploring how innovation, policy changes and societal shifts drive opportunities for customers. Are you thinking about how to run your organization better or how you can grow it faster? How are you challenging yourself with new ideas, new concepts and innovation? Can you understand the economic forces driving change to lead you in transforming your organization and adapting your strategy to take control of the future? Andrew Busch is an economic futurist. He creates context for understanding where we’ve been, where we are and where we’re going on the economy and policy. He covers the super-charged trends impacting business and provides a case study to apply these for future growth opportunities.
