Never Waste A Good Crisis: in Times of Change, Embrace the Opportunity for Transformation

Change management. We are beyond the time of stability. External forces, including the economy, environment, population growth and movement, and political forces are in constant motion. Problems that used to be simple, or maybe complicated, are now complex or chaotic. Accept the chaos. Lean into it. Use it as the opportunity to transform not just for what is needed now, but build the muscle to anticipate and adapt. This includes recognizing stakeholder profiles: who are champions versus resistors and how should they be engaged? What is constructive versus destructive resistance? How can teams and organizations become resilient to adapt to challenges as they arise? Suzanne shows how to future-proof your organization by leading through complexity, stabilizing chaos, and calming the waters.

Unblock Your Team: Embrace New Ways of Leading to Drive Clarity, Value, and Employee Engagement

Leadership. Think back over the past few months and answer the following questions about your team or organization. Did they ever lack clarity or alignment on priorities, spending time on the wrong things? Have a hard time making decisions? Lack urgency when it mattered Work in silos rather than ‘as one’? Not prioritize what mattered to their customers? Suzanne has worked with leadership teams around the world and will share her lessons learned, success factors, and tangible guidance on how to: create a compelling vision that others will follow, build psychological safety (and why that is important), align people around shared priorities, unblock issues without judgment, and build an owner/outcome mindset with customers at the core.

Micro-innovations: the Next Big Thing Could Be Small

Innovation. Opportunities for innovation are everywhere, in every industry, from every department of an organization, and at all levels of seniority. Learn how to make innovation a part of your organization’s DNA and empower every team member, not just your incubators and “creatives”, to be innovative. Gain inspiration from case studies where innovation came from unexpected places and people. Some examples are funny, others are surprising, and all are inspiring. Learn how to build the environment for creativity and new ideas to thrive.

The Next Big Thing: Retail Trends and Technologies That are Reshaping How Customers Shop

Future of Retail. How are companies like Walmart, Amazon, Sephora, Warby Parker, IKEA, and Chipotle reshaping the face of retail? While each has its own niche, what they have in common is they are each playing to win. How are retailers leveraging technology like augmented reality, robotics, and generative AI? What can we learn from established companies and new entrants in the market, as well as lessons from other industries like transportation and hospitality, to gain that competitive edge? Suzanne will share curated case studies of fascinating, and sometimes surprising, trends and technologies that are reshaping how customers shop.

Transformation and Agility: Unlocking Organizational Potential

Business agility isn’t just for tech teams—it’s a game-changer for organizations across all industries. Moving beyond jargon like “Lean,” “Agile,” or “Kanban,” Suzanne Knight shares real-world strategies to help traditionally slow-moving organizations streamline operations, foster collaboration, and build a culture of adaptability. With firsthand experience leading large-scale transformations, she provides actionable insights to enhance efficiency, break silos, and drive customer-focused innovation. Attendees will leave inspired and equipped with practical tools to rethink how they work, lead, and create lasting value.
