How should organizations adapt to change, especially in a world like today's where the changes are so constant and dramatic? In 2020, Ken Jennings was invited back onto Jeopardy! for a "Greatest of All Time" tournament, but it was a very different quiz show from the one where he won 74 games in a row in 2004. In this fascinating keynote, Ken will share backstage secrets of tactics and technology, and what he learned about preparation, agility, fast adaptation, strategy and risk on the way to becoming the show's "GOAT."
