The Rebellion Imperative

Thursday 8.30 - 9.45 in: Keynote

As industries and institutions mature, they inexorably evolve to defend entrenched interests by restricting choice, suppressing new technologies, and seeking rents instead of generating value. Rebellion against the powerful is not just good business, it's a vital and necessary force for renewal and progress. Rebellion isn't just wild-eyed talk and marginal behaviour. In this session we'll examine the three essential tactics of the successful rebel and explore ways to apply them today.
