Lecture: Enterprise of the Future
Dr. Grace Lin, IBM Distinguished Engineer and Member of IBM Academy of Technology, will deliver this lecture as part of the Operations Research / Management Science Seminar Series. All are invited to attend.
Abstract: What does the Enterprise of the Future look like? How will new business models and new technology impact the Enterprise of the Future? Based on a recent study and more than 1000 interviews of CEOs and Public Sector leaders that IBM conducted, the Enterprise of the Future is:
• hungry for change, optimistic and prepared for bold action,
• successful in collaborating with customers and partners to innovate – for business and for society,
• choosing global business designs to re-mix capabilities and disrupt entire industries.
In this talk, Dr. Grace Lin will share the insights IBM gained from the above-mentioned CEO study. She will discuss emerging trends and advances in business models and technologies and how they can be leveraged to accelerate the transformation of the enterprise of the future to gain competitive advantages and to address growing corporate social responsibility expectations. She will also discuss some advances in value-net optimization and real-time business performance management and their impact on the enterprises of today and future.
