The New CNO Playbook: Fresh Perspectives, Breakthrough Solutions
The role of the CNO is increasingly challenging. The innovations you need to take things to the next level won’t come from doing the same old, same old. The breakthroughs CNOs need will come from Fresh Perspectives—from a New Playbook that looks outside of healthcare for lessons from brands creating engaging experiences, leveraging connected data in transformative ways, and solving complex system challenges differently.
Julie Cottineau, author of Twist: How Fresh Perspectives Build Breakthrough Brands and former VP of Brand for Virgin has spent her career helping leaders remove their blinders and look outside their industry for actionable insights that build breakthrough solutions.
Agenda
Healthcare challenge workshop
Step into an interactive session designed to flip assumptions and reimagine long-standing provider network challenges through new lenses.

From the 94th floor of the John Hancock building to the main stage, The Tilt is more than a name—it’s our theme. We’ll challenge conventional thinking and explore what happens when leaders shift perspective together.
A day designed for connection, candor, and big ideas.
