Session Overview
The pressure to keep up with AI has never been higher. Organizations are pouring investment into pilots chasing productivity gains, yet the value they were promised stays just out of reach. The conversation has moved on from whether to implement AI, to defining how it best supports pre-defined business objectives.
Charlene Li, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author and Entrepreneur, calls this the “AI hesitancy gap.” It’s the space between what organizations aspire to and what they actually deliver, as leaders get pulled between FOMO and the “fear of getting in.”
Charlene sets out three leadership mindsets for uncertain times: curiosity, action, and agency. Drawing on her extensive work as a strategic consultant, she provides her insights to support a winning strategy for disruptive growth and a plan to identify and seize an opportunity no one else has the audacity or confidence to reach for.
Your strategy should be written in ink, she argues, but your AI roadmap in pencil.
