Information

AI mandates, restructures, strategy pivots – most leaders in this industry don't decide these things, they absorb them. This panel is about the gap between what gets announced and what actually lands on a team: what it costs, what it breaks, and what genuinely works when you have to deliver a decision you didn't make and keep your people intact while doing it.
