Over 30 industry-leading speakers will share how to:

  • Improve your Operations Management System to better identify - and eliminate - sources of risk and value loss in your operations
  • Implement changes in leadership thinking and behaviors to drive transformation
  • Increase risk visibility by optimizing data and information management - and minimize unplanned events

  • Strengthen your core operating processes to drive enterprise transformation
  • Detect whether your work environments, culture and processes are increasing the likelihood of a risk occurring
