Business in the Age of Disruptive Tech & Innovation
Navigating the impact of Generative AI; Quantum Computing; Blockchain
We stand at the precipice of a technological revolution, one that is redefining the norms and pushing the boundaries of innovation like never before. Disruptive technologies such as Generative AI, Quantum Computing, and Blockchain have transitioned from buzzwords to significant game-changers, opening the door to unexplored opportunities and introducing an array of new risks at an unprecedented pace.
This sweeping transformation is not only revolutionising how businesses operate, but also challenging the very foundations upon which existing business paradigms rest. The wave of disruption is poised to dislodge traditional business models, replacing them with a fresh breed arising from these cutting-edge innovations. In this rapidly evolving landscape, only those businesses that welcome disruption, leverage it as a stepping stone to innovate, and harness its potential to drive growth can sustain their relevance in the future.
Board directors and C-suite executives need not confront these seismic shifts alone. The 12th QED Changemaker Forum is designed to foster a collective approach towards navigating this dynamic environment.
It offers a secure, confidential space for thought leaders, industry pioneers, and the brightest minds to come together and gain first-hand insights from those on the front lines of technological disruption, and connect with senior leaders who are grappling with similar challenges and opportunities that these technologies present so businesses do not just survive, but thrive amidst the technological upheaval that lies ahead.
