015. Understanding Disruption (General Session)
Instructor: Aaron Proietti
Level of Complexity: Intermediate
9:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Disruption follows patterns. Understanding those patterns gives us power. In this session, Aaron uses storytelling, design thinking, systems thinking, and real-world examples to show how individuals at any level can lead through uncertainty by designing environments where change becomes possible and progress sustainable. Audiences walk away with language for the forces at play, insight into how disruption shows up, and clarity on what kind of leadership is needed next.

Rapid Teamwork
Sean Glaze
In modern organizations, there seems to be a revolving door of new projects and new teammates. The challenge is seldom about strategy. Leaders struggle because they don’t have a process for bringing diverse individuals together as a collaborative team.
Rapid Teamwork tells the story of Greg Sharpe, a manager whose team has been underachieving and struggling with a few issues.
What he and his executive team experience during an unusual rafting retreat is a lesson on how to become a more productive team quickly – creating a more unified workforce.
