The pace of change has never been greater, and time is now the most critical currency for COOs. At this year’s COO Leaders Summit – North America, we explore the “4 T’s” of modern operations—time, trade, talent, and technology—and how they are reshaping the future of business. From navigating digital transformation at speed, to addressing talent shortages and workforce transformation, COOs are tasked with balancing innovation and resilience. Cybersecurity and validation are no longer optional; they’re integral to operational readiness. At the same time, sustainability initiatives and evolving operational frameworks demand bold, future-focused leadership. This year’s summit brings together the leaders who are driving change, setting the pace, and defining operational excellence in a world where time waits for no one.
