The age of AI can also be a time for leaders to shine

Nearly 40 years ago, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) published a path-breaking initiative titled ‘Management in the Nineties’, in which it suggested that the evolution of technology through phases of localised exploitation and internal integration would suddenly encounter a revolution in the form of business process reengineering, business network redesign, and finally, business scope redefinition.

Today, well into the 21st century, all leaders and managers are willing to take the recursive relationship between IT and business strategy for granted, and only a corporate dinosaur would still lack awareness about digital technologies.
