Reasons to Attend

  1. This is the only venue to meet and learn from others driving excellence in strategy execution and enterprise performance — in most organizations, there is no community of peers constantly raising the bar to learn from so it’s easy to stagnate or stall.
  2. The world is changing incredibly fast and so is the strategy execution discipline. Find out what you can improve in 2026 and how to do it.
  3. This year’s event includes very self sufficient former Viva Goals and Quantive customers that integrate OKRs and KPIs – more sources of expertise to tap.
  4. Improve the ROI on your strategy execution practices and OKR program by capturing compelling proof points and applying methods of peer companies.
  5. Benchmark your impact and practices against others to either increase your conviction or raise your game!

This Year’s Themes

This conference is one a kind – a rare brain trust comes together to advance strategy execution and enterprise performance for public and PE-backed companies. It’s the very definition of thought leadership and this year’s sessions and themes are no exception.

  • Achieving strategic agility in the face of supply chain, technology, economic, and company upheaval
  • Increasing the CEO’s ability to drive strategy and accountability at scale
  • Maximizing value delivery with radical clarity, value transparency, and rapid prioritization
  • Systematically threading business strategy through company, team, and individual objectives to create coherence and avoid misaligned incentives or colliding processes
  • Orchestrating an operating rhythm that drives strategic velocity, accountability, and agility
