TOPIC BRIEF
Over the history of mankind, technology has always played the role of a force that
irreversibly changes ‘ways of doing business’ – that connects and/or creates discontinuities in the civilizational ecosystems. Technology creates a level playing field on occasions, and at times is a rude death knell for some enterprises or even economies. This fact is evident throughout our history right from the industrial revolution, to the silicon era, to the internet age and to the current age of network communications, convergence and mobile living.
The erstwhile advanced economies like US, UK, Germany, and Japan have been at the forefront of combining innovation and technology. This has enabled them to become superpowers that have the economical, defensive and financial muscle. However, technology has also created a level playing field with the rise of telecommunications and the internet that emerging leaders like India and China are leveraging fuelled by favourable demographics with technology. These economies have shown that leveraging technology is often a savior during recessionary economic cycles, as it enables the creation of more efficient business models and ecosystems of value.
Currently cloud computing is a game changing phase of IT that is not only impacting the way computing services are and will be delivered but also the way in which users will use IT. The Cloud promises several benefits in commercial and technical terms but the challenges too need to be considered when planning for cloud adoption. But one thing is inevitable that businesses will need to redefine themselves to better cope with the implications of cloud services.
In his talk, Dr Banerjee will talk about why and how roles of the leadership need to
leverage technology better to stay relevant in the changing context of the age of techno-
communication driven networks. He will focus on the changes traditional marketing concepts and practices need to ring-in, in order to truly understand the present scenario, manage risks, and innovate with a vision to create value systems that herald the next decade of leadership.
