Jim Harris on The AI Revolution | NSB Engage Virtual Webinar

Sample takeaways and leadership considerations:

• Unlocking Explosive Productivity with AI – Imagine cutting weeks of work down to hours and revolutionizing productivity across industries. As computing costs plummet, AI is becoming accessible to businesses of all sizes, offering a game-changing opportunity to scale operations more efficiently. What could your company achieve if it leveraged AI to the fullest?

• Transforming Entire Industries with AI – A recent McKinsey study analyzed AI’s potential across all industries, identifying high- and low-impact use cases. In just the past two months, McKinsey doubled its projection for AI’s global economic impact, estimating it could contribute $7.8 trillion by 2030! This is not a story about technology, but organizational change. Do you want to disrupt your industry or be disrupted?

• The Speed of Change: Can You Keep Up? – To stay competitive, embracing innovation cycles where even a 2% improvement every few hours can lead to significant results. Organizations that embrace speed and agility gain a transformative advantage, making the question “How do we improve faster?” more critical than ever.

• The Catalyst for New Job Creation: AI is set to disrupt jobs, but it’s also creating a vast number of new roles—up to 900 million by 2030. Companies that invest in reskilling will lead the way, while those that ignore the shift may find themselves outpaced. Is your organization ready for the opportunities AI will create?
  
• AI is expected to automate 30% of U.S. jobs by 2030, sparking fears but also opportunities for upskilling. Businesses must invest in training to ensure their workforce adapts. History shows that past technological disruptions (like farm automation) led to job evolution rather than widespread job loss.
  
  
• Consider:
  • Global Organizations: What if training could be personalized to every employee’s needs, in any language, and engage them with interactive content? AI can create personalized training experiences, such as using AI to generate interactive training videos, immersive learning experiences or avatars that speak multiple languages.
