We hope you are all ready for a long weekend ahead. As usual, we are attaching here some brief notes from last week’s breakfast event, AI & Robotics: A Leadership Perspective. We hope you will continue to stay abreast of the role of AI and robotics in our everyday lives and in your organizations.
Our panelists will discuss anticipated effects of AI and robotics on areas such as IT, operations, manufacturing, supply chain and customer-facing activities. Some believe that AI provides opportunities for career growth, which will only accelerate in the coming years. Hear what these innovators have to say about today’s AI and robotics impact on business and the boardroom, and where they may lead in the future.
While many company specific examples were given on how to handle risks and capitalize on close calls, below are the key points that will apply to all organizations. We hope you will be able to use these to your advantage and remember them as you are confronted with both anticipating risks and dealing with them as they are playing out.
Our expert panel will discuss best practices to help the board and management understand unforeseen risks, deal with crises, and limit potential damage, while allowing their organization to thrive.
