By dramatically improving the speed and efficiency of workplace tasks, digital technology such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud platforms, business process automation and advanced analytics has ushered in an era of unprecedented growth and innovation.

As organizations continue to adopt and converge these solutions, the path towards becoming an autonomous enterprise is becoming more clear.

As AI and digital systems proliferate, however, many are starting to question whether automated decision making is really in humanity’s best interests.

Though achieving the dream of the automated enterprise may be years away, organizations must start grappling with the ethical considerations associated with it now.

In this PEX Talks session, Sarah Burnett (LinkedIn profile) Chief Technology Evangelist of Kyp.ai and author of “The Autonomous Enterprise” will discuss the promise and the potential risks associated with the autonomous enterprise.

Key talking points will include:

• What is the autonomous enterprise? Hype vs. reality.
• How will the autonomous enterprise shape the human experience?
• How can companies ensure that AI and digital systems actually augment the employee experience?
• What ethical considerations need to be made before organizations embark on this journey?

How can we help developers create high-quality software while minimizing the introduction of errors during their daily development tasks?

As software development cycles become shorter, it’s increasingly important to ensure that developers and testers don’t inadvertently introduce errors or compromise software quality. Combining static and dynamic testing is an effective way to minimize software erosion caused by short-term requirements.

Join us online on June 7th as we bring the industry experts together to discuss the benefits and limitations of both static and dynamic testing, and how to integrate them into agile software development effectively.

In this webinar, you’ll hear about:

● How there are limitations of both dynamic and static analysis
● How to overcome these limitations by combining dynamic and static testing
● How to apply these testing techniques to continuous integration practices
● How and where to locate testing activities in your software development and testing processes to minimize software erosion caused by short-term requirements

It is very daunting and challenging for a decent sized organisation to change service providers.

These service providers range from financial services (banks),

IT providers, accountancy etc. There are too many moving parts and could potentially cause a lot of headaches.

If not managed well, this can lead to business disruptions, losses and might affect the reputation of the company. As such, transition management is important to manage the scope, timelines and costs of change.

Transition manager also manages the communication between all stakeholders and resolve any conflicts that potentially could delay the transition go live.

Transition management is basically not as complicated and does not utilize all the PMBOK knowledge areas but certain PM skills are required.

It seems like every company you can think of—including your own—includes a “digital transformation” journey.

The problem is that many companies start down the road of their digital transformation journey without a good sense of exactly where they are going—or a clear idea of how they will create and capture digital value.

Not surprisingly, this leads to problems like failure to realize value, wasted resources and effort, added complexity, and dysfunction.

But there is a solution!

In this interactive HBR webinar, MIT research scientist Stephanie Woerner (LinkedIn profile) will share the method they have developed to help companies get digital transformation right.

Based on years of rigorous research with data from more than 1,000 companies, she will provide insights into the important dimensions at which a firm must excel to be competitive, as well as the organizational disruptions every firm must manage as part of their transformation journey.

In this webinar Stephanie will share:

• A playbook to guide organizations on their journey
• The “four pathways” framework to capturing digital value
• Case studies and example of companies that have put the playbook into action

The goal for companies isn’t digital transformation. but is a profound business transformation.

Join HBR to discover the keys to a successful, value-generating digital transformation.
