As new tools flood the market and automation becomes more accessible, agency leaders are being pulled in every direction. The pressure to move quickly is real ,but speed alone doesn’t build a healthy, resilient business.
This session is about slowing down for a moment to ask better questions. Karl Sakas and Ross Taylor will sit down for an open conversation about what it takes to lead well in today’s agency landscape. Together, they’ll unpack a practical framework for choosing and using technology - including AI, resource management tools, and other emerging systems, without losing sight of the people and processes that make growth sustainable.
