My view on the pillars of growth
AI and machine learning have reached a critical tipping point and will increasingly augment and extend virtually every technology enabled service, thing or application. Creating intelligent systems that learn, adapt and potentially act autonomously rather than simply execute predefined instructions is primary battleground for technology vendors through at least 2030.
My view on the pillars of digital transformation
Think of it this way: Digital transformation initially moved organizations from legacy. Now, tech intensity focuses on the speed and depth at which companies adopt and integrate new technologies for their success. It’s about pushing innovation even further beyond the default stance of digital transformation.
