About the CII CSO Forum

In 2023, we embarked on a pioneering strategy conference, uniting corporate and academic leaders in a groundbreaking dialogue that attracted over 200 participants and was hailed as a resounding success. Building on this momentum, we are excited to return this year to tackle a critical and timely topic: ‘Strategy in an AI-Dominated World.’

This year’s conference aims to answer the pressing question: ‘In a world disrupted by artificial intelligence, how should companies build their strategy and prepare for or even more ahead of the inevitable disruption?’ Through a series of thought-provoking sessions, we will delve into key areas, including:

AI TO DRIVE EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS TO DELIVER VALUE

AI is revolutionizing the way organizations operate, offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. But as we step into an AI-dominated world, the challenge lies in ensuring that this technological leap translates into tangible value. Can AI truly deliver on its promise to optimize processes, improve decision-making, and drive innovation? Or do the risks of over-automation, ethical dilemmas, and diminishing human oversight outweigh its potential? This discussion will explore the opportunities in leveraging AI for operational gains and ensuring its outcomes align with organizational purpose, societal needs, and long-term sustainability.

AI TO DRIVE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE AND GROWTH

In an AI-dominated world, the ability to harness artificial intelligence has become a key differentiator for competitive advantage and growth. AI offers transformative potential, from unlocking new market opportunities and driving innovation to enhancing customer experiences and streamlining operations. Yet, as organizations race to embed AI into their strategies, critical questions emerge: How can businesses ensure sustainable growth through AI adoption? What are the trade-offs between speed and ethical considerations? And how do companies avoid falling into the trap of over-reliance or misaligned implementation? This discussion will explore how leaders can strategically leverage AI to outpace competitors while fostering long-term growth and resilience in a rapidly evolving landscape.
