Change is no longer constant – it’s episodic. Organizations today are navigating simultaneous pressure from funding shifts, AI acceleration, data quality challenges, cybersecurity threats, ERP complexity, and cultural change – all at once. In his keynote, Mark Roman draws on decades of executive IT leadership to explore how leaders can successfully pivot when stability is no longer the baseline. This session isn’t about chasing trends – it’s about making smart, grounded decisions in an era of exponential change, and leading organizations through transformation that is anything but trivial.
