"The industry speakers, HBS professors, and the diverse group of executives made for very engaging, thought-provoking and open dialogue. The 3-day program was unlike any other and provided us with a platform to discuss real issues of our current times,” added Sherrie Littlejohn, EVP & Head of Internal Innovation Strategies at Wells Fargo.
The Rethink Strategy program that was held from May 22 to May 25, 2016 at Harvard Business School in Boston provided an excellent opportunity for senior leaders to learn how to embrace challenges, see new opportunities, and frame the big picture.
