There's a lot of talk right now about the pace of change, technological advancements, and all sorts of buzzwords like AI, RPA, neural networks.

In this session, we'll discuss some common pains, pleasures and pitfalls in actually implementing some of these technologies to make sure that any initiatives you undertake have the best chance possible of succeeding.

  • List several common problems organizations face when trying to implement a new technology or run a pilot program.
  • Distinguish between push and pull innovation.
  • Create a process for determining the technologies and advancements that will most likely have a significant impact on your organization.
