What does it mean to be 'indestructible'?

On day 1 of MEP Force 2021, panelists, participants, and keynote addresses alike set out to capture and define what it means to be indestructible.

Themes emerged from the more than 80 breakout sessions and roundtable discussions:

2. A solid strategy on collecting and analyze data is key.
