A strategic understanding of AI for your organisation
Work and workplaces are undergoing a radical transformation. One that is on par with the changes that followed the introduction of personal computers and the web.
The combination of artificial intelligence, data and new ways of interacting with digital devices (messaging, voice, Augmented/Virtual Reality) will transform what we work on, how we solve problems and even the physical spaces we work in. It will influence the internal structure of organisations, relationships between organisations (with suppliers and partners) and how we interact with our customers.
All business leaders should be equipping themselves with the correct conceptual tools to be able to make sense of this changing world and correctly evaluate what next steps they should be taking.
