In a world changing at super speed, Tarv Nijjar will share his experiences of solving problems using data and AI at scale, with the right support across the enterprise. As business leaders, what should we know, and how can we demystify it for everyone? This helps build an effective talent pipeline for the future, enabling us to solve business and customer problems at a speed that delivers value and impact. These concepts are brought to life with real examples from the biggest restaurant company in the world. This session will be introduced by Dr Bo Kelestyn, Associate Professor and Course Director (MSc Management of Information Systems & Digital Innovation).
