Leadership, Belonging & Stewardship to Advance the Fourth Industrial Revolution

Cognizant at the World Economic Forum annual meeting

21–24 January 2020, Davos-Klosters, Switzerland.

LEADING TO ENABLE A SUSTAINABLE WORLD

Excelling with digital, elevating the future 
Technology has the power to help improve our world—if used responsibly and effectively. But ensuring the use of technology for good requires strong leadership.

The leadership that brought us to 2020 won't move us forward. Future leaders will shape a culture that values different views and that builds trust with customers, employees and the world at large.

At the WEF Annual Meeting, we’re exploring this new leadership and how best to align the interests of the modern corporation with those of their employees, their customers, society and the planet.
