Concurrent Roundtables
Use Your Current Employee Data to Improve Business Operations (and Positively Impact the Bottom Line)
Eric J. Felsberg | Principal, Jackson Lewis P.C.
K. Joy Chin | Principal, Jackson Lewis P.C.
The thought of using data to help manage a business may, at first, appear daunting. From gathering the data and identifying a resource with the technical know-how to perform the analyses, to interpreting the results and constructing an action plan, employers may be tempted to abandon the effort altogether and proceed with business as usual. But what if the data you already have on your existing employees can be easily used with proven methods to give you an advantage? Would it help if you could anticipate future staffing needs, reduce litigation risk, enhance company culture, improve your bottom line and more? Companies like yours are seeing these results, and so can you.
This interactive roundtable will:
- Examine what you can accomplish now with existing employee data
- Highlight the key benefits of a successful employee data initiative
- Explain the unique role CEOs play in this initiative
- Outline best practices for appropriately collecting and leveraging employee data
- Help you gain quick wins and avoid the common pitfalls many companies encounter when analyzing their employee data
Establish and Sustain Effective Corporate Citizenship Efforts Institutions are failing society at the same time that the world needs leadership and problem-solving skills. Business remains one of the very few effective ways of organizing people toward achieving specific goals. This roundtable will explore key questions, including: - How can businesses be good corporate citizens while balancing the needs of shareholders, employees and customers? - It’s easy to be philanthropic when times are good and business is flush. How can businesses sustain Corporate Citizenship efforts through lean times? - In the rush to join the Corporate Citizenship bandwagon, some businesses are inauthentic in their philanthropy and see such efforts as purely marketing or recruitment initiatives. How can legacy businesses better implement Corporate Citizenship efforts that resonate, are sustainable and authentic? - What best practices can help mid- and large-companies strengthen corporate citizenship efforts that engage employees, resonate with customers and appeal to shareholders? The Infrastructure of Innovation David Roberts | CIO, State of Indiana For the first time in a half century, the future home of innovation is up for grabs. The geography of American industry is upside-down. Traditional capitals of “flyover country” like Indianapolis, Detroit, Columbus and Des Moines have become increasingly hot hubs for tech workers, as millennial talent flees the high-cost coasts. Meanwhile, traditional information enclaves like New York and California are rediscovering their passion for manufacturing. |

Disruption As Opportunity
Adena Friedman | CEO, Nasdaq
Perhaps no industry has endured as much creative destruction in the last decade as the world’s financial markets, yet though it all, Nasdaq has survived and thrived. They did it by widening their idea of what the company could be and transform itself into a world-class technology and intelligence provider to capital markets. Friedman shares how Nasdaq rethought Nasdaq, and how you can use chaos as an opportunity, not a threat.
