accelerating innovation in their organizations. The GCC includes
several live and virtual working sessions as well as research and
knowledge-sharing platforms.

"The GCC provides a much needed forum for enterprise leaders to
look outside of their traditional industries to identify new
innovation opportunities and accelerate their learning through
networking around emerging technologies, use cases and innovation
models," said Andrew LeSueur,
Managing Partner – Heidrick Consulting. "Digital disruption
and emerging technologies like IoT, AI, mixed reality, and block
chain are becoming more horizontal in nature as they disrupt at the
boundaries of traditional industries, presenting a unique
opportunity for cross-collaboration."
