Twice annually, we will curate their best thinking around a burning platform that demands consideration now to ensure continued business success over time. Our aspiration: to empower leaders with intelligence, insights and inspiration to make strategic decisions germane to the moment. Our promise: original thinking that will help you progress boldly. Confidently.
And in this moment, where breakthrough AI is propelling once-in-a-generation, transformational advancements in work, industry and society, there is no platform more pressing for leaders than the future and how to prepare for it. In response, our inaugural issue focuses on the future, both immediate and long term.
Together, we explore the existential: Can we trust AI to extrapolate truth from data about our brands, businesses and the world at large? Does human creativity still matter when AI can deliver professional-grade outcomes at speed and scale? How do we rebuild trust in each other when " widespread grievances " dominate headlines and social feeds?
Our esteemed contributors examine the changing landscape and the implications of AI for national security and the global digital economy. They share emerging AI use cases that are redefining the art of the possible for governments, cities and criminal justice systems. They also offer novel, yet pragmatic ideas to navigate AI skills gaps, manage sweeping organizational change, and make employees feel safe— psychologically, professionally and ethically.
Our experts investigate new ways of thinking about how we make value decisions in the face of persistent complexity and ambiguity. Quickly assess emerging innovations for disruptive advantage. And take more calculated risks to drive exponential rewards, even in highly regulated industries.
Finally, I am delighted to welcome our advisory board to The Kyndryl Institute, who will advise and guide us on the most important issues and opportunities for businesses right now.
We are on the precipice of promise, where leaders have an uncommon opportunity to affect enduring, positive change. Whether the future you are planning for is six months, a year, or three years from now, we hope these insights help clear a path to continuous and rewarding transformation for your business, your customers and the world.
