From Clayton Christensen refreshing us on Jobs to Be Done, to Marc Randolph (Netflix Cofounder) sharing insights on the startup journey, to our entire track dedicated to Sprinting in The Face of Uncertainty, the content this year was inspiring, and immediately actionable. Check out the following three modules for a quick recap of our Sprint track.
