Strategy & Innovation
Today’s competitive advantage lies in data. Every day, we walk by solvable problems, leaving opportunities on the table. According to AI and big data expert Paul Zikopoulos, it is exactly these kinds of solvable problems that disrupt industries and create new businesses. Just look at artificial intelligence—while it has gone through many hype cycles, seemingly overnight, it went from a "need to eventually have…" type of conversation to one that "needed to be had last month." In his presentation, Paul will outline the forces driving innovation and discuss how technologies from machine learning to cloud computing to generative AI will shape the future, and how social, mobile and the Internet of Things will change how we interact with businesses and each other. Paul breaks down the main business factors disrupting the marketplace and what you can do as a business to succeed in such a time of change. He then goes one step further to predict the industries ripe for disruption and identify potential new approaches that will change the way we work and live.
