AI is no longer just a technical topic — it’s a leadership imperative.
We’ve been hearing from many leaders asking the same fundamental question: How do we navigate the fast-moving shift AI is bringing to the nature of work?
To help unpack that, we brought together two of our top AI experts, Das Dasgupta, former Chief Data Analytics & AI Officer at Starbucks, and Ujjwal Sinha, former Managing Director & Partner at BCG, for a candid discussion on how AI is reshaping business strategy, talent, and execution.
This conversation moves beyond the buzzwords and into the real questions leaders are facing:
- Where is AI already delivering measurable financial value?
- How do we manage risk, trust, and human oversight?
- What does AI mean for talent development and early-career roles?
- And where should leaders place their bets — now and in the future?
We invite you to watch the full conversation below and reflect on how these insights may apply to your own organization.
