Playing it safe might be the riskiest strategy of all.

When technology, policy and human expectations are changing faster than organizations can plan for them, optimization alone won’t keep you relevant.

The organizations that continue to shape their industries have something else in common: audacity. The ability to challenge what works, act before every answer is known, and create space for ideas that can change the trajectory of a business.

On September 9, EY Doberman Senior Directors Anna and Cornelia will share five provocations on what it takes to build an audacious organization — drawn from A Journal on Audacity, where we explored the topic with leaders, thinkers and changemakers from around the world, and from 25+ years of helping organizations create what comes next.

Then we turn the conversation over to the room, exploring what audacity means in practice for leadership, culture and innovation.

Come for breakfast. Leave with new perspectives, a few uncomfortable questions, and ideas worth taking back to your organization.
