What’s behind the idiom ‘sic transit gloria mundi’ or ‘glory is fleeting’? We push ourselves to sustain competitive advantage, clamor for customer attention – but are these truly drivers for success? In reality, these aren’t true wins, we may be selling ourselves short and missing out on bigger opportunities. When we compete with ourselves rather than others, perform better today than yesterday we drive results for tomorrow. We master our trajectory, lead and not follow. Afterall, if we don’t focus on value creation, such short wins may be fleeting. Join Sanjay Shah, Founder & CEO, on Wednesday morning as he kicks off VISTAS with an eye-opening keynote that shapes what Vistex does today to drive customer success for tomorrow.
