In October 2019, senior executive clients from around the world convened in New Orleans for ParadigmShift, an annual event hosted by ThoughtWorks. This year’s theme, Connect and Collaborate: Accelerating Value Creation, focused on the urgent need to collaborate at every level, to grow and thrive in today’s hyper-connected world.
Our expert speakers explored collaboration as a defining quality of modern digital businesses and the ways in which connection fuels innovation throughout the entire enterprise. Key themes included the importance of data in creating connected experiences for customers, using ecosystems and partnerships to drive scale, and practical ways to cultivate a sense of belonging at work, creating a safe environment for collaboration.
