Disruptors get a lot of credit for their technical acumen, but true transformations are impossible without strong communication, relationships and strategy. Legacy technology compounds the struggle – now you need to make unsexy investments to the foundation before you can dazzle, but you only took this job because you were told you could innovate! This session will present common hurdles you are likely to face and tactics to overcome. Participants will walk away with:

• Pragmatic approaches to building a strategy that will get leadership buy-in
• Deep understanding of the relationship-building imperative for implementor and stakeholder buy-in
• Telltale signs it's time to execute (spoiler alert – it’s before you have 100% consensus)
