Description

As the winner of the 2022 Orbie Leadership Award and past Orbie and other awards, Al Lindseth has been a thought leader within the energy sector and IT profession for many years. Incredible risk and disruption are driving the need for companies to adapt and drive transformational and change efforts, but the track record and return on these investments are horrible.  Success requires different skill sets.  Traditional approaches are not transformative or agile enough.  Focusing on technology-driven disruption or change efforts and using a specific example around AI, Al will posit five specific reasons why these larger efforts and general attempts to wrestle with change and risk fail - with a goal for attendees to learn how to avoid these issues with the right approach.
