Operational efficiency is no longer just about cutting costs. It’s about building resilience.
In a world of constant uncertainty, even the most optimized operation can be vulnerable to one unexpected disruption.
So how can leaders balance cost efficiency, operational stability and resilience — without sacrificing one for the other?
At Operations Leaders Forum 2026, our Executive Business Director, Robert Godziszewski, will moderate a panel bringing together senior operations leaders to explore this challenge from different perspectives.
Together with experts from Wise People, InPost, PFR TFI and Astellas Pharma Capability Centre Poland, Robert will discuss:
→ Cost optimization vs. resilience — where should leaders draw the line between efficiency and operational stability?
→ Just-in-Time vs. Just-in-Case — when can optimization itself become a source of systemic risk?
→ Breaking down silos — why traditional operating models struggle in increasingly complex environments.
→ The COO’s dilemma — how to balance cost pressure with building resilient operations and reflect resilience in KPIs.
→ Data & AI — can they help organizations manage this trade-off, or simply model and report it more effectively?
The agenda will also explore Data-Driven Operations, AI-powered forecasting and planning, and building operations without silos.
When? 29 September 2026
Where? Operations Leaders Forum 2026
We’re looking forward to seeing Robert on stage and to a discussion that goes beyond efficiency and towards operations built to perform, adapt and withstand disruption.
