Theme


Our Summit 2019 is an exclusive event planned for our cherished client partners. This event features a lineup of guest speakers who will talk across different degrees of innovation. Some of our clients will also showcase how they are Making Learning Smarter. Even grander than 2018, we expect leaders across the fields of education, learning, publishing, and business.

The theme of this year’s event is consistent with our mission – Make Learning Smarter. Ensuring that we have a clear line of sight toward this mission, we have identified Leverage, Diversify, and Disrupt as strategies that will enable all of us to Make Learning Smarter together.

Leverage is newer applications of inherent strengths that will lead to an expansion of the core and include configuration for the new.
image
Diversify embraces adjacencies and requires a thoughtful approach to ensure that competitive advantages grow and expand.
image
Disrupt simplifies the complex leading to a more competitive outcome and in the process eliminating non-value drivers in the value chain.


Summit 2019 is set to be an activity-packed day, filled with networking opportunities, engaging speaker sessions, and merriment as we finish the day with cocktails and dinner at Indian Accent. We hope that the event presents ideas that will help you adapt to the many changes happening in your business today.
