Once upon a time… Blackberry, Blockbuster, Ericson, Nokia (BBEN) dominated our world of technology and entertainment.  Meanwhile Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google (FANG) were nowhere to be found beside someone’s garage. 

Then what happened to BBEN, and where are they now?  Contrary, can we function without FANG today?  How do PMs from Apple, Microsoft, Google dominate the new world of technological innovation with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Analytics (DA)?

Bring your head, heart, and humor to this interactive keynote!  We’ll share 3-C secrets that you can integrate FANG’s formula for success and reduce the risks of BBEN’s failure.  Through in-depth research and powerful personal stories, we will inform, entertain, and inspire you to seek innovation in any projects that you manage, and deliver creative solutions to elevate the customer’s experience.
