Resilience and Innovation During Challenging Times

September 16, 2020 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Please join Columbia Bank for a conversation with Futurist, Steve Brown.

The Three Headed Beast- COVID-19 is simultaneously:

  • A public health crisis
  • An operational crisis
  • And an economic crisis all rolled into one monumental moment.

Each crisis requires a different strategic response:

  • One centered on medicine and public safety,
  • another on increasing business resilience,
  • and a third that fuels innovation to catapult us out of recession.

This energizing talk includes fresh ideas on how to use these challenging times as a positive force for good and offers an innovation framework you can use to guide technology innovation into every aspect of your business. Internationally renowned futurist, Steve Brown, will also offer you three new lenses through which to consider the current situation, and will share his insights on the opportunities that our new normal presents. This is a session you will not want to miss.
