Building A Culture Of Innovation

What has propelled you and your company to succeed so far may not be what's needed to thrive in the future. In a world of thrusting startups and the loss of the incumbents' advantages, what’s needed is a new mindset for growth and change. Yet equally, the values your company was built upon, the qualities it embodies, and the strengths your people channel on a daily basis, can be precisely what needs to be reinforced in order to stand out and make an impact. Building your culture—and meaningfully aligning it internally and externally—is the most important way to create a platform for the future, and this presentation explains how.

Digital Disruption

Tom Goodwin's talk on Digital Disruption explores how technological advancements are reshaping industries, emphasizing the need for businesses to adapt and innovate in the face of rapid digital change.

The Future Of Financial Services

Technology has profound implications for many markets; it changes the paradigms upon which financial products, experiences, and regulations have been based, alters our perception of competitive threats, and it transforms our understanding of consumer behaviors. It also opens up radically new possibilities for the years ahead and a range of opportunities to tap into now. From insurance to lending to digital wallets and beyond, players across all aspects of finance are set to be transformed by a new technology, an altered regulation, and a range of new consumer behaviors. Goodwin covers how trends such as API-based thinking, blockchain, emerging tech, and the no-code movement are shaping your future, what your strengths are in the current landscape, and what can be done to increase your impact immediately.

It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.

Have all the speakers on the website worked with PepTalk before?
