Keynote #7 Driving Sustainable Growth: What to Change, What to Preserve — Leadership Decisions and Value Creation in the Age of AI
As markets evolve, consumer expectations shift, and technologies such as AI advance at unprecedented speed, companies are under constant pressure to transform.
Yet competitive advantage does not come from simply adopting the latest technologies. Sustainable growth requires leaders to distinguish what must change from what must remain constant—and to turn those decisions into action.
For decades, Nestlé has placed Creating Shared Value at the heart of its business, continually asking a fundamental question: What is growth ultimately for? While remaining committed to creating value for both society and the business, Nestlé continues to evolve its brands, technology, talent, organization, and business models.
Having built his career across marketing, digital, e-commerce, and business leadership before becoming CEO of Nestlé Japan, Motoi Shimakawa will share his perspective on growth strategy and organizational transformation in the age of AI—and the leadership decisions required to create sustainable value over the long term.
