Accelerate change with the power of digital and AI

Your transformation never stops. Yet data shows that the complexity of leading digital and AI transformation results in an 87% rate of failure. So how do you ensure success for your own journey?

My top takeaways are 1) the digital and AI response strategy playbook and how easily organizations can land in the retreat domain as a strategic response; 2) the value of unstructured data; 3)  the expansion of big data and how it’s driving generative AI; 4) how easily culture derails digital transformation.
