The Journey of Innovation: A Driver’s Seat for Future-Focused Leaders

Session details:

WE United Founder, President and CEO, Jackie Mattox Presents:

Innovation has always been the engine of progress, shaping societies from the Industrial Revolution to the Digital Age, and now into the intelligence era defined by AI, quantum computing, and global convergence. But technology alone does not define the future.  Leadership is the driving force.  

This fireside chat explores innovation as a journey, not a single breakthrough. We’ll trace how innovation has evolved from productivity and automation to digitalization and intelligence, and now toward convergence, where technologies intersect to transform industries and lives.

At the same time, leadership must meet the current demands, combining vision with adaptability, emotional intelligence with ethical responsibility, and courage with civility. Leaders must balance speed with humanity, guiding organizations through complexity while ensuring technology serves society.

Join us for a forward-looking conversation on the traits and mindsets leaders need to thrive in the next wave of innovation.
