The end of middle management? Designing for zero distance.
Michele Zanini, Humanocracy
In a world where agility wins, the organizations that thrive will be the ones that bring decision-making closest to the customer. Michele Zanini, co-author of Humanocracy, will share what it takes to design for zero distance between those who serve and those they serve. Learn how to flatten hierarchies, decentralize control, and foster self-managed teams that innovate faster and adapt better.
Self-empowered and adaptive organizations.
Choose your path: from unlearning hierarchy to building cultures of care and navigating uncertainty with confidence. Engage with speakers in dynamic, participatory formats.
Engineered for Trust: Making empowerment a system, not a slogan.
Christopher Stubbs, Virgin Voyages
When Virgin Voyages set out to deliver a guest experience unlike any other, they realized they had to start from the inside out. Chris Stubbs shares how the company took a leap and became one of the first U.S. organizations to eliminate tip-based compensation entirely. By redesigning roles, feedback loops, and incentive structures, Chris and his team created an environment where people could show up fully and thrive.
This session unpacks how to engineer trust into your systems, so empowerment isn’t a hope, but a habit.
Clarity in Chaos: Why purpose is your only strategic advantage
Gopi Kallayil, Google
AI is driving relentless change, and organizations cannot afford to wait and see how this plays out.
Gopi Kallayil, Chief Evangelist at Google, explores how purpose-led companies can remain anchored even as AI redefines business norms. In this keynote, Gopi delves into how purpose and human well-being can serve as true norths in times of uncertainty. Through real-world stories, he’ll change leaders to ask: Can strategy keep pace with AI? Or must we rethink strategy itself? Is AI strategy an oxymoron?
Gopi will challenge you to center purpose, well-being, and happiness, not as afterthoughts, but as essential tools to lead through change.
