BLUEPRINT 4D Update

In light of the recent news regarding Oracle, we wanted to share a quick update as we prepare for BLUEPRINT 4D in Dallas.

While a small number of scheduled speakers have unfortunately been impacted, the Oracle team has been incredibly responsive—working closely with us to identify new speakers and ensure continuity across sessions. As it stands, we expect to deliver the complete program as planned with minimal adjustments.

We know this is a moment of transition for many in the community, and we truly appreciate the partnership and commitment from the Oracle team during this time.

We’re looking forward to bringing everyone together in Dallas.

Stop Being Overlooked

If your ideas aren’t getting traction, it’s not a talent issue.​ It’s how those ideas are showing up — and how they’re being perceived.

After leading teams as a 4-time CIO and CEO, Chris Laping saw the same pattern everywhere:​

​The best ideas don’t win…The most believable ideas do.​

There are specific behaviors that make people — and ideas — unignorable.​ Now Chris, in partnership with Quest, is launching a live cohort to teach exactly how to become unignorable!

Start with the Become Unignorable cohort free info session on April 29 at noon ET to learn more! Save your seat now!

From Problem Solver to Trusted Advisor: The Shift That Defines Leaders

There’s a point where doing great work stops being enough. Not because the work isn’t valuable—but because the expectations have changed. At the executive level, organizations need more than execution, they need trusted advisors who can discover what others miss, advise with conviction, and deliver with accountability.

Read the latest perspective from our own Jon Vaughn, as he explores how the shift from problem solver to trusted advisor is what separates contributors from leaders.

And don’t miss your chance to learn more about the Emerging Leaders Program, where in-depth discussions, networking, and leadership growth make business insights second nature. Join us for our next info session on April 22 at 2 pm ET.
