    ​Artificial intelligence is the tsunami of change coming to every industry.  Too many are caught up in what AI will look like in 10 years instead of focusing on what AI can do for them today.  AI is the solution to the labor shortage every company is facing today.  With the labor shortage being the number one obstacle to growth, it is critical that organizations embrace AI and develop a blend of AI and human engagement. Just imagine being able to quadruple an employee’s output without adding more hours to their job.  AI does this.   In this powerful and energizing session, Tom Morrison will share:

    ​- What AI is?

    – What AI is not?

    – The 3 elements an organization needs to make change in an AI-driven world
    – The trends behind the labor shortage
    – How AI will play an active role in the labor shortage issue
    – The keys to blending AI into your organization now

    – The 6 elements every  business has to have to compete in the future

    With disruption driving change at light speed, two things are certain with “change”: you no longer have the luxury of time and it is unforgiving.  In a study by IBM, over 5,000 C-Suite executives stated that their #1 fear for the future was the “Uberization” of their industry or business model. Forbes reports that market disruption will drive 40% of Fortune 500 companies into bankruptcy in the next 10 years.  Any industry ignoring the wave of change headed our way will risk becoming irrelevant and eliminated.  In this very insightful and energetic session, Tom will unpack the 3 forces causing disruption and outline the key elements every company must have to drive innovation, value and culture to win the future and compete in an age of constant disruption.  This is a must see keynote.
