For leaders, there is threat in chaos. And the world right now—it’s feeling pretty chaotic. It feels safer to retreat, camouflage, or remain silent to feel a sense of stability. But acting out of fear is a bad business strategy. 

Join chief strategy officer Chris Konya and partner of strategy Aaron Powers in this session as they discuss the impact of fear and chaos on businesses today through two presentations. First, “The Erosion of Truth” from Konya: With shared truth under siege, we all feel unsettled and destabilized. What is the new role of brands and business in this moment? Next, “The Grief of Innovation” from Powers: With tech moving at hyperspeed, businesses don’t realize the emotional impact that their innovations (and pace) can have on consumers. How can brands better help consumers navigate and embrace new products instead of grieving the way things used to be?

Leave with a new perspective on how you can apply these ideas to your own work. The session concludes with a Q&A, open conversation, and networking with the Sylvain team. Refreshments will be provided.
