Adaptive transformation in the age of AI:

This talk will be about the world that we now live in and discuss this from the perspective of change, innovation, and what you as an organization can do to make change and success happen. So, in this short lecture, we will talk about adaptive transformation in the age of AI, so this talk will have a theoretical lens as well as a translation of what Academic insights can mean for practice.

The presentation will highlight why it is important to accelerate the development of adaptive capabilities to ensure the business can meet the needs of an increasingly complex environment. We will also discuss the typical stages of failed large-scale transformation efforts and why understanding this is even more relevant these days. We will end this presentation with some key ideas on how artificial intelligence can effectively be deployed and leveraged in practice to address the turbulence of the market and environment.
