The SEV Center of Excellence in Creative Leadership invites you to its upcoming event entitled “How Artificial Intelligence changes decision making, knowledge management, and the nature of work”.

Short Desctiption

Dr. Stella Pachidi, a Poets & Quants Best 40-unde-40 Professor, will present her pioneering research that has been published in world-leading academic journals such as Organization Science. How do novel algorithmic technologies and artificial intelligence tools change the nature of work and specifically knowledge creation and sharing processes or decision making methods? By drawing on ethnographic and other qualitative studies she will present the unavoidable changes that emerge in the structure and culture of a company, in the management of human resources, and in the patters of cross-disciplinary collaboration. She will conclude by focusing on the role of leadership in activating and handling such changes.

Over 10 years ago Mark Andreesen famously proclaimed that “software is eating the world”. In every industry, whether it is services, manufacturing, raw materials, agriculture, entertainment, or tourism, the basis of customer value and competitive differentiation is the ability of a company to infuse data-driven intelligent automation in both its operations and in the product itself.

How can corporate strategy leverage data science and computational methods? How can leaders embrace a data-driven worldview and steer their organizations in the era of artificial intelligence?

Associate Professor Harris Kyriakou will present insights drawn from world-leading research that advances how we think about the role of novelty in product development processes, the effects of newly imposed regulations on sharing platforms and their participants, and why the diffusion patterns of blockchain innovations differ based on their type.
