BY

Paul Giroux, GISP, Innovation Officer at GSU, Inc;  founder of Slimgim & specializing in Enterprise GIS, Data & Analytics Strategy 





Keynote Presentation: 

Title: How (un)healthy is your enterprise? The importance of constant measurement, patience, and persistence in driving lasting change

Abstract:
In this keynote presentation, Paul explores the parallels between endurance fitness training and organizational health and “vitality”. Just as athletes meticulously monitor progress, enterprises must continuously measure performance indicators to guide strategic decisions. Patience and persistence are the secret ingredient as you navigate the journey of enterprise transformation, recognizing that sustainable change is a gran fondo - a marathon, not a sprint. Join us as he uncovers the transformative power of data-driven insights and resilience in continually shaping a happy and healthy enterprise. And yes, Paul will share stories and experiences that poke fun at his own missteps and lack of performance along the way.
