Kearney: From Resilience to Outperformance – The CEO Playbook

Under the title From Resilience to Outperformance – The CEO Playbook, Marko Derča, Managing Partner leading Kearney’s Digital Transformation team in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), will present analytically grounded insights on how companies in Croatia and region can convert today’s volatility into competitive advantage. The event will take place on June 17, 2026, from 17:45 to 20:00, at the Esplanade Hotel, Paris room.

The presentation will address the global outlook in an environment defined by geopolitical shifts, cost pressure and uneven growth, with a particular focus on what these dynamics mean for CEOs and board-level leaders in the region. Rather than approaching resilience as a response to disruption, the discussion will explore how leading organizations are building the capabilities to perform better because of uncertainty.

Particular focus will be given to the practical levers that are currently shaping boardroom priorities, including margin pressure, labor constraints, supply chain exposure, capital allocation trade-offs and the need for greater speed in execution. The emphasis will be on concrete actions that executive leaders can implement now, from cost transformation and AI-enabled productivity gains to procurement excellence and planning agility.

The event will also provide an opportunity for an open, peer-level exchange among senior executives on what leaders are doing today to stay ahead in an increasingly complex business environment.

The event is intended exclusively for Presidents and members of the Patron Member's Boards.

Please confirm your attendance no later than Friday, June 12, 2026. Please note that the number of seats is limited, and reservations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
