From Disruption to Advantage: Building Future-Ready Organzations

Can legacy companies still win in a digital-first world?

We think the answer is yes, but not without a serious mindset shift.

Join us for an exclusive evening at the Ivey Asia campus in Hong Kong where we’ll unpack the bold ideas behind Resurgent: How Established Companies Can Fight Back and Thrive in an Age of Digital Transformation, the new book by Julian Birkinshaw, Dean of Ivey Business School and globally recognized expert on strategy and innovation.

This high-impact panel event brings together senior leaders from across Hong Kong’s business community to explore how traditional organizations can turn disruption into competitive advantage — and what it takes to lead through constant change. Dr. Birkinshaw will be joined by a panel of top-level industry leaders driving successful digital competition in Hong Kong.
