In this keynote, Prof. Nick Binedell explores the intersection of strategy, operations, and adaptability in a rapidly changing world. Drawing on lessons from history, global business, and Japan’s manufacturing renaissance, he highlights how companies and leaders must learn, unlearn, and continuously adapt to remain competitive.

From managing complex value chains to embedding purpose at every level, he shows how operational excellence, teamwork, and relentless innovation drive success even in uncertain political and economic climates.
