Moderator: Phil Fersht, CEO and Chief Analyst, HFS Panelists: Suzanne Dann, Chief Executive Officer – Americas, Wipro Chetan Dube, Founder and CEO, Amelia Tony Filippone, Chief Procurement Officer, AXIS Capital CP Gurnani, CEO & MD, Tech Mahindra Sander van 't Noordende, Chief Executive Officer, Randstad Manish Sharma, Chief Operating Officer, Accenture Riju Vashisht, Chief Growth Officer, Genpact Session Description: In our plenary session, join this high-level debate among the big-shots of the business tech world to shine some light on critical topics up for debate, including: Which enterprise leaders will succeed and which will fail as we tackle this global assault on everything we once knew as stable? Has the role of leadership changed much in the past few years – and will it change even more in the medium term? Are large enterprises adapting to this new “recessionary” world post-pandemic? Or are most still clinging to the rules of the past? As we still see talent scarcity on the rise in many parts of the world, what are some of the steps business leaders can take to attract and retain talent? How do we go beyond remote working options to make flexibility equitable? How is the current economic and business environment impacting investments in emerging tech and innovation? What gets back–burnered, and what moves to the forefront? Metaverse was the flavor of 2022, now it’s all about generative AI becoming the new we interface with the Internet.  Are we on a constant hype-cycle, or do we expect all these innovative technologies to reach their promised heights? The shift from GPT3.5 to GPT4 has caught many people by surprise. Does this create more opportunities than threats for enterprises? Is it really as dangerous as many high-profile leaders are saying? How can business leaders prepare their workforce for the increased use of AI? Can today’s service providers convince enterprises to work with them differently? Can we get past the old-world “effort” partnerships to ones of performance and purpose? What will our world really be like when we emerge from these challenging times?
