Description:

As generative AI moves from novelty to necessity, its most profound impact isn't in incremental efficiency — it's in the shockwaves that ripple across industries. These disruptions challenge pricing models, rewrite competitive dynamics and even blur the boundaries between entire sectors. So how do you prepare to create — or counter — these seismic shifts?

  • What it takes to move from cost savings to market-changing innovation
  • Why only 1 in 50 organizations succeed in creating disruption
