Ed Marx, Keynote I (30 minutes):
Tech that Cares....Empathy Enabled Transformation
Strong business services and products are not enough. Visionary leadership is not a solution. Robust digital cores only create a foundation. However, when each dynamic is in sync with one another, business outcomes grossly outperform individual unit contributions. You move from pockets of brilliance to an enterprise of excellence. How do you create this intimate alignment in environments of complexity and unite tech with business? I will share six common critical success factors I discovered amongst three different best in class organizations where I served as CxO… Vision, Governance & Alignment. Intentional Relationships, Scaling Leadership, Shared Performance Objectives, Cross Pollination and Business Integration. The thread that binds them together is Tech that Cares.
Ed Marx, Keynote II (30 minutes):
Reaching the C-Suite…Five Hacks
Everyone strives to get face time with decision makers. Especially those at the top. Getting in front of key decision makers with P&L responsibilities is key. After serving 20 years in the C-Suite of hospitals, I faced a cold reality when I jumped to the supplier side. Nobody wanted to see me. Leveraging my experiences on both sides of the dyad, I figured out a few hacks that opened doors and led to partnerships.
