THE BREAK UP OF BIG TECH HALL ONE

Scott Galloway For the past decade, the loudest arguments waged regarding the Four (Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google) were about which CEO was more Jesus-like or should run for president. However, the worm has turned against big tech. Facebook denies the responsibilities of a media company, more people subscribe to Amazon Prime than voted in the 2016 US presidential election, Google owns 90 percent market share in search, Apple controls content and distribution via one billion active iOS users, and we are starting to question how much power and influence is too much. In this session, L2 Founder Scott Galloway discusses why breaking up the big tech companies will create a more prosperous society for consumers, shareholders, and corporations.

THE SIX MYTHS OF STRATEGY EXECUTION HALL ONE

Dominic Houlder Should strategy execution follow a hierarchical structure? Is performance culture the best way to achieve strong results? In this session, Dominic Houlder, a leading expert on strategy execution, will share recent research from the London Business School to dispel some of the biggest myths that exist in strategy execution today.

FAST/FORWARD: MAKE YOUR COMPANY FIT FOR THE FUTURE HALL TWO

Julian Birkinshaw The leading companies of the past 20 years have all harnessed the power of information to gain a competitive advantage. But as access to big data becomes ubiquitous, it can no longer guarantee a leg up. In this session, Julian Birkinshaw, author of Fast/Forward (a Financial Times “Best Business Book” of 2017), will introduce “adhocracy”— a new approach to strategy and organisaton that will provide the necessary playbook to make your company fit for the future.

STRATEGY AND ENTERPRISE VALUE HALL ONE

Sonia Marciano In recent years, there has been a palpable shift in the nature of the US economy that has resulted in an unprecedented share of earnings concentrated in a small number of firms. For this reason, understanding how to think strategically at both the individual and enterprise level is more important than ever.

WEDNESDAY JANUARY 24
