Symposium BSI Feature Lectures

  • Keynote Presentation: “Charting New Horizons – Strategic Innovation for a Resilient Caribbean

    Presented by Joe DeCarlo, Senior Vice President and Senior Consultant

    In this inspiring keynote, Joe DeCarlo, Senior Vice President and Senior Consultant at BSI, will guide summit participants through a forward-looking exploration of the forces shaping the Caribbean’s future. As the region faces unprecedented challenges and opportunities, this session will highlight the five strategic imperatives essential for building resilience and unlocking sustainable growth.

    Joe will begin by examining foresight-driven planning, demonstrating how scenario thinking and anticipation of future trends can be embedded into organizational strategy to navigate uncertainty. He will then spotlight digital innovation, showing how Caribbean organizations can leverage emerging technologies to overcome legacy barriers and accelerate progress.

    The keynote will also address the importance of adaptive capacity—cultivating agility within institutions and leadership mindsets to respond effectively to rapid change. Joe will emphasize the power of regional collaboration, encouraging the formation of strategic partnerships across islands, sectors, and global networks to amplify impact.

    Finally, the session will focus on sustainability and equity, advocating for strategies that not only drive economic growth but also uplift communities, foster inclusion, and preserve the region’s unique environment and culture.

  • Feature Lecture #1. “Mastering Strategic Agility: Thriving in an Era of Rapid Regional Change"

    Presented by David Wilsey, CEO

    In this insightful session, David Wilsey, CEO of BSI, delves into the critical importance of strategic agility for organizations operating in today’s fast-paced and unpredictable business landscape. As traditional long-term strategies become less effective amid constant market shifts, technological advancements, and evolving customer expectations, Wilsey offers a fresh perspective on how leaders can keep their organizations competitive and resilient.

    The presentation will introduce attendees to the concept of strategic agility—an organizational capability to sense changes in the environment, pivot quickly, and realign resources and teams around new priorities. Through real-world examples and practical frameworks, David will demonstrate how agile organizations monitor early signals of disruption, embed flexibility into their strategy execution, and foster a culture of continuous learning and adaptation.

    Participants will walk away with actionable techniques for horizon scanning, performance review, and embedding adaptability into their strategic plans. Whether facing digital transformation, economic uncertainty, or disruptive business models, this session equips leaders with the tools and mindset needed to navigate change confidently and ensure ongoing success.

  • Feature Lecture #2. “Transforming Strategy Execution: Harnessing the Power of Data Analytics for Informed Decision-Making”

    Presented by Curt Cornelssen, Vice President, Consulting

    In this timely and practical session, Curt Cornelssen, Vice President, Consulting of BSI, explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way organizations approach strategic planning and execution. As businesses face increasing complexity and rapid change, traditional decision-making methods can fall short. This presentation demonstrates how AI-powered analytics can simplify complex scenarios, provide clearer foresight, and help leaders make faster, more objective decisions.

    Curt will guide attendees through real-world examples of how AI is being used at every stage of strategy management—from conducting background research and analysis, to developing and refining strategic objectives, to monitoring performance and executing plans. The session will highlight how AI can accelerate information synthesis, reduce human bias, and offer predictive analytics that improve prioritization and resource allocation.

    Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how to harness AI for smarter, more agile strategy management. They’ll gain practical insights into using AI to develop robust performance measures, anticipate future trends, and drive better outcomes in an increasingly unpredictable business environment.
