The Automotive Fleet & Leasing Association (AFLA) has finalized its last two keynote speakers for the upcoming AFLA NextGen 2020 Virtual Corporate Fleet Conference, which will be hosted virtually Oct. 5 - 7, 2020.
Bodell
For the upcoming virtual conference, Lisa Bodell, CEO of FutureThink, will speak on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2020. Her talks offer a roadmap to eradicate workplace complexity that is killing organizations’ ability to be agile, fast, and innovative, according to AFLA. In order to experience this competitive advantage, organizations must embrace simplicity as a basic operating principle, which her keynote will explore.
Linkner
The following day Josh Linkner, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and author, will serve as the final keynote speaker of the virtual conference. His presentation will focus on the “The 5 Mindsets of Innovation.” These five mindsets are portable and can be applied immediately to any role, job function, or industry, the Association said.
Before these presentations, the opening keynote speaker on Monday, Oct. 5, 2020 will be hosted by best-selling author Curt Steinhorst, whose presentation is titled “Building a Focused and Productive Team in Turbulent Times."
