The FifthWave - Cognitive Systems
Our society has passed through four waves of Information Technology evolution
over the past fifty years. These were Mainframe Computing, Personal Computing,
Client-Server Computing and the Internet. Each changed our world more than the
ones before.
We are now at the brink of the Fifth Wave, Cognitive Systems. And, like its
predecessors, it promises to change the world even more profoundly than they
did. Cognitive systems allow us to incorporate into a wide range of systems and
processes the ability to reason about information in the same ways that human
experts do. But cognitive systems never forget anything, work 24 x 7, and can
think thousands of times faster than people.
Cognitive systems aren't designed to replace people; they are designed to
empower them. Putting these tools in the hands of people will multiply their
effectiveness to previously unimaginable levels. Learn how cognitive systems
will change your industry, your organization and your job.
Dynamic Business Process Management
Business Process Management (BPM) has become a hot topic recently. But too few
organizations recognize that, in a rapidly changing business environment,
static business processes, no matter how well managed, become a liability
rather than an asset. Dynamic Business Process Management (DBPM) leverages the
most advanced business technologies to enable your organization to rethink its
business processes in ways not previously possible. DBPM gives your company
unmatched strategic benefits allowing you to anticipate and respond to market
changes and competitive threats far more effectively.
Jack has spent his career developing and applying the concepts and
techniques of Dynamic Business Process Management. He will show how your
organization can gain its strategic benefits.
Enterprise Risk Management
After September 11, Enron and the other corporate malfeasance scandals, and the
passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, businesses have realized that risk is a
critical strategic issue. And, they've recognized that they can no longer
manage risk in silos, but must address it on an enterprise-wide basis from the
topmost levels of the company.
In this enlightening session, Jack addresses not only traditional financial
and credit risks, but also challenging operational and strategic risks
arising from a host of external forces. Jack explains how businesses are
implementing enterprise risk management (ERM), demonstrates some of the
powerful tools companies are using to manage risk today, and shows why ERM is
an important part of a company's future.
21st Century Artificial Intelligence: AI is Back - to
Stay!
People have been discussing the possibilities of artificial intelligence ever
since the first computers were invented, but it has never seemed to fulfill its
potential. Now, with the explosion of information available through the
Internet and other sources, AI is needed more than ever. And, it's here
today, but in a different form than previously expected. "Associate"
systems are joint cognitive systems that work for people - not the other way
around!
In this visionary presentation, Jack first explains why it was not possible
for AI to succeed in the past and why it is now surpassing all expectations. He
then shows how associate systems are being used in everything from unmanned
aircraft to advanced business systems. And, he explains exactly what you can do
to take advantage of this new way of thinking about business, information, and
management in your organization.
Who Moved My Mousetrap? Achieving Disruptive Innovation
Innovation isn't really innovative unless it's also disruptive. But what is
disruptive innovation? How do you recognize it, and how can you achieve it?
In this insightful presentation, Jack Shaw explains the technologies and
trends that are driving innovation today. He shows why even the best companies
often miss disruptive change. And, he spells out the steps you can take in your
organization to respond effectively to disruptive change and to create the
disruptive innovations that will lead to success in the marketplace.
Globalization at the Intersection of Business and
Technology
The phenomenon of globalization has been written about and discussed at length
in the past few years. In this session, Jack builds on work done by such
authors as Thomas Friedman in his book The World is Flat. Jack not
only confirms the critical role of business technology in creating
globalization, he also shows why your organization must leverage the best in
current and emerging technologies in order to take advantage of globalization.
If you plan to compete in the global marketplace, this session is for you.
Taking Cost Out of Your Supply Chain
The companies that comprise the most competitive supply chains take costs out
of their supply chains through collaborative supply chain event management
Collaboration means the sharing of key supply, demand, and inventory
information among partners up and down the supply chain ? and in real time.
Collaborative supply chain management allows supply chain participants to
measure the value added by each supply chain partner and thus to identify
optimal means for sharing the benefits of supply chain improvements. This
aligns the interests of the individual partners with the economic vitality of
the supply chain as a whole.
