Boardroom 2030
The technological change is accelerating rapidly. New rules in global business ecosystems are disrupting established business models. Digital technologies like artificial intelligence challenge even the most proven products and value propositions.

It shows how they can act as strategic sparring partners in shaping a competitive future while embracing an increasingly interconnected world.
