You may think the world is racing ahead too fast, but it will never be slower than it is right now, says Beth Comstock, the former vice chair and head of marketing and innovation at General Electric (GE). Comstock spent 30 years at GE and wants to share lessons from her career as a “changemaker in chief.”
But confronting the relentless pace of progress is difficult. To thrive in today’s world, every one of us has to become ready for change. For Comstock, the concept of being “change ready” calls for the courage to defy convention, the resilience to overcome doubts and the savvy to know when to go around corporate gatekeepers to reinvent what is possible.
Join us for an inspiring evening with one of today’s foremost innovation leaders.
