Managing the AI Moment
Too much of the AI discussion focuses on the whizz bang of the technology. The real conversation needs to focus on change management. WSJ and HBR say it’s arrived, but where’s the evidence? We’re still in the discovery phase and CFOs want us to cut our teams in half while dramatically increasing our output. That said, this is real. What can we do this year to set realistic budgets and expectations, while harvesting this fertile terrain.
C-Suite Primer
You come prepared to share what has worked and not worked in your interactions with the C-Suite. How did you crush that meeting? Where have you failed? What could have gone better? Ultimately, we want a toolkit to better position ourselves and our ideas for a more successful set of interactions. We get there by revealing our proudest and toughest moments inside the C-Suite.
Making Hard Decisions
We have cliches for it: face the music, bite the bullet, grin and bear it. Join us to share how you have succeeded and failed when the going gets tough. What can we take away from your experience, and what can you take away from the stories you hear about the promise and peril of managing change?
Let's get better at running our businesses
Anyone with P&L responsibilities runs a business. Whether you are managing a department or running the whole show, your lingua franca includes growth strategies, prognosticating the future of your business, 3-5 year planning, accounting, organizational design, and leadership. This roundtable will explore how we can become better managers, entrepreneurs, and CEOs. Specifically, we will examine what women do differently, enabling companies to thrive. Most importantly, we want to discuss our next five years as leaders. What do we want for ourselves, our teams, and our companies? What should people say about us as women who run companies, divisions, or departments in the year 2030?
Leadership Unmuted
You know what’s hard. Staying true to your values when you see things that are not good for your company, colleagues, or customers. This requires a level of courage, confidence, and conviction that is hard. It’s easier not to speak up when you worry you are rocking the boat, offending your colleagues, or risking your employment. Yet, you’re here because you are senior, and those leadership positions come with the responsibility to set an example. So, how do we find and sustain our voice when we must speak up?
