Corporate Strategy for AI
Description:
How should business leaders approach strategy in the age of Artificial Intelligence? Why are 95% of AI initiatives failing to create value, while a small fraction are reshaping entire industries?
This evening will explore how organisations can move beyond “digital 2.0” and build real competitive advantage in the Cognitive Era.
Programme:
6:00 - 6:30 | Keynote: AI as strategy, not just technology
About the keynote:
Marcone Siqueira is a globally recognised corporate innovation expert and the author of Reload – From Digital Transformation to the Cognitive Era, a practical guide for leaders navigating the most significant business revolution of our time.
