adapted? What does your
"best team" look like? These
are just a few of the ques-

on leadership, culture, tech-
nology, and communication,
the panelists discussed various
topics including leadership
styles, developing a leader-
ship bench, understanding
what is possible with industry
partnerships, and identifying
technology needs.
