09.50 - Building a Real-Time Strategy Execution Operating Model
Connecting Governance, Portfolio Management, OKRs and Executive Decision-Making to Reshape Strategy Execution and Financial Control
In an increasingly complex and rapidly changing environment, the challenge is no longer simply defining the right strategy, but ensuring effective execution, continuous alignment of priorities and measurable business outcomes.
Gruppo Sella has been evolving towards an integrated, data-driven Strategy Execution Operating Model, connecting strategic objectives, project portfolios, OKRs, financial performance and executive governance.
At the heart of this transformation is the shift from monitoring progress to actively steering execution, enabling more effective decision-making, dynamic prioritization, optimized resource allocation and stronger alignment between strategic investments and business value.
Stefano Corradino, Head of Execution Governance, Gruppo Sella

11.30 – Your Strategy Deck Deserves an Upgrade - Install a Strategy OS
Enterprises are far better at articulating strategy than at landing it, and the missing piece is not better content but an operating system to run it on. This session shows how a cross-unit ceremony wired to OKRs became ours — the layer where strategy, culture and transformation stop being parallel programs and start being one execution heartbeat.
Ludovic Tardy, Associate Director, CEO Office, Amadeus IT Group
12.00 – Sponsor Session
12.30 – Leading Transformation in the Age of AI: What Changes for Strategy Execution

14.00 – PI (Process Intelligence) and AI: A Reinforcing Flywheel to Re-imagine Services
How can organizations redesign services with AI at the heart? This session explores how combining proven process-improvement disciplines with AI and agentic capabilities to create a practical approach to full service redesign—from understanding the current reality and identifying value, to imagining AI-native target processes, rapidly experimenting with new solutions, and translating strategy into measurable operational change. The result is a continuous flywheel in which better process intelligence makes AI more relevant and actionable, while AI makes process re-imagination faster, broader and more ambitious.
Koen Vranken, Head of E2E Value Chains & AI Re-Imagination, Euroclear

15.00 – Interactive Session

16.10 – Agentic Organization Transformation: Where Humans in the Loop are Needed
Where are humans needed and not needed. And where and what are the implications of these decisions in various aspects of organisation - be it strategy, operational excellence or new operating systems, change of business models, transformation or data management. Are we ready to consider Agents as Employees: would it change the way we treat data, what new processes it will bring and what will disappear?
Maria Zelkovskaya, Business Data Governance Transformation Director, Danone
16.40 – From Activity to Outcomes: Why Strategic Intent Gets Lost in Execution
Many organizations have a clear strategy and capable leaders yet still struggle to translate strategic intent into focused execution and sustainable outcomes. In complex environments, priorities multiply, ownership becomes fragmented, teams become overloaded, and activity can gradually become a substitute for progress.
Drawing on practical experience in strategy execution and transformation, I would share observations and lessons learned on creating focus, alignment, and outcome-oriented execution in dynamic organizations.
Eveline van Liempt-Hogenes, Service Strategy Execution Lead, Philips
17.10 – Reimagining the End to End M&A Workflow with AI
