How to Make Better Decisions | PWC, ME | Matthew Griffin | Leadership Keynote Speaker

Today there isn’t a single industry that isn’t undergoing dramatic change or disruption.

During the keynote I discussed not only the pace of change, its implications, and how it’s accelerating, but also dove into a variety of different industries and topics, from agriculture and energy, to wellness and transportation, to show the depth of those changes.
