Innovating for a resilient and responsible future
The first global pandemic in a century, a war in Europe, exponential advances in AI, increasing cyberattacks, and financial system instability have shown business leaders how difficult predicting the future can be. However, these very events have created the bedrock for astounding innovation in all sectors of economy and society. Vaccines that would have taken years to develop and administer were available in months on the back of digital technologies. Upgrades in communication technologies, robotics, and extended reality were catalysts to technology adoption skyrocketing. Advances in generative AI have shown that abilities that were considered uniquely human are in the grasp of machines.
The business environment is rife with uncertainties caused by geopolitical instability, supply chain disruption, cyber incidents, climate change, and resource exhaustion. Successfully navigating these challenges means rehearsing the future by tapping into the collective mind, while using imagination and technology. To this end, innovation models need to be built on a core purpose. They need to have a long-term vision, to deliver value repeatedly and be inclusive.
At this year’s TCS Innovation Forum, held on Tuesday, June 6 at Cornell Tech’s Verizon Executive Education Center on New York City’s Roosevelt Island, we will bring together leaders from business and academia to discuss agile, business-focused, and collaborative strategies that help companies innovate for a responsible and resilient future.
