Disruption is the key to innovation. Remote work is now the norm for many organizations. Falling commercial real estate and drop in value of apartment and office, first since 2011. Are the results contributed to remote work or just the overall economic conditions?

Not second guessing, but on the precipice of ten active years enabling more capability in the cloud while deprecating the remaining OnPrem capabilities.

Recently there have been more and more technological issues, breakdown of infrastructures, and fallout of services from digitalized processes, integrations, data etc. Even basic communication services have been lately unreliable in many countries. How do you see this from your point of view in supply chains? Have we reached a point where the digitalized processes take so much energy/resources that it might have issues on a constant basis and present a risk (not only security risk) in the future unless we find more renewable energy sources, or are these isolated cases from hiccups that can happen at implementations and they were just a coincidence?

Executives are more focused than ever on implementing GenAI tools, but aren't always focused on the right things. Does anyone have any advice on how to keep execs focused on the things that matter when it comes to GenAI?

Pedro (Peter) WallaceCIO at City of Virginia Beach in Governmenta year ago

Good question and observation. While no one wants to get left behind, it's important to establish policies and governance around AI before embarking on implementation.

Given this statistic from a recent McKinsey report, “Approximately 80% of the U.S. workforce could have at least 10% of their work tasks affected by the introduction of GPTs, while around 19% of workers may see at least 50% of their tasks impacted.” Please share your thoughts on: what would you expect us (humans) to do with all that extra time?
