CONFERENCE DAY TWO: 15TH OCTOBER

10:00 AM KEYNOTE CASE STUDY PANEL: VALUE BREAKTHROUGH IN 90 DAYS: INSIDE THE HIGH VELOCITY VALUE CREATION OF SAPIENS

What does it take to unlock breakthrough value in just a few quarters instead of years? This panel pulls back the curtain on a high velocity value creation plan that produced phenomenal results at Sapiens. Our panel of speakers will share the bold bets, fast experiments, and disciplined execution model that turned strategic intent into bottom line impact at unprecedented speed. Join the conversation to hear real lessons learned—what worked, what didn't, and what they would do differently next time.

• The starting point: where we were, and the ambition we set for value creation

• Designing for speed: fast decision cycles, test and learn, and ruthless focus

• Concrete outcomes: uplift in revenue, margin expansion, and cash impact

• How cross functional "tiger teams" cut through silos and accelerated delivery

• Governance that kept us moving fast but controlled: cadence, KPIs, and escalation paths

• A practical playbook: what any team can take away from this case study and implement immediately
