The Context
Most established mid-market businesses operate on a silent contradiction: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
But in 2026, "not broken" often means "barely keeping up." Legacy systems, manual spreadsheets, and restrictive workflows are fast becoming operational risks that limit your ability to scale. And if you aren’t doing it, you can bet your competitors are!
The challenge for leaders is they know they need to change to adapt to the new era. However executing that change without disrupting the day-to-day operations that keep the lights on can be daunting and often gets put off as a result.
The Invitation
Join 10–12 fellow Managing Directors, COOs, and Technology Leads for a focused, off-the-record discussion on how to evolve your systems without stopping the business.
Join us for a structured roundtable designed for senior decision-makers to share practical lessons on managing risk, overcoming internal resistance, and identifying high-impact, low-disruption wins.
