DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 5, 2017--
NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR), a global leader in omni-channel solutions,
announced today the keynote speakers for NCR Synergy, its annual retail
and hospitality customer conference. Martin Lindstrom, one of the
world’s premier brand-building experts and TIME 100 honoree, and
Dan Heath, best-selling author, Fast Company columnist and senior
fellow at Duke University’s CASE center, will be headlining this year’s
event.
For companies to thrive in today’s connected economy, they need to
reshape their operational models to meet the needs of the 21st
century connected consumer. Martin Lindstrom and Dan Heath will both
inspire and educate the audience on how to truly understand consumers’
deepest desires in order to create breakthrough products, brands and
moments of experience that leave a lasting impression.
Astonishing sometimes, provocative always, Martin Lindstrom will discuss
the seismic shifts transforming our culture as social media and
connectivity constantly penetrate our lives. Martin will share the
surprising things he’s learned from observing consumer homes across the
world, including thought-provoking pictures and videos. The audience
will gain powerful insight into the consumer of tomorrow and also
acquire the tools to decipher and decode what’s coming.
Dan Heath has co-written three New York Times best-selling books: Made
to Stick, Switch and Decisive. At this year’s
conference, Dan will be drawing concepts from his upcoming book, The
Power of Moments, to reveal the four elements that make up defining
moments that have a catalyzing or transformative impact on our lives. He
will be sharing examples from inside and outside the corporate world
about how to construct these pivotal moments that spark delight, leave a
lasting emotional connection with others, and can change the course of
the future.
Held at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Orlando June 26

vice president of global retail sales at NCR Corporation. “We look
forward to sharing ideas and collaborating with our global customers at
