The digital transformation of companies was brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution in terms of speed, scope, and system It is rapidly evolving based on innovative IT technology. It is expected that this will have a direct impact on all industries, resulting in changes in the entire system including production, management, and governance. Therefore, companies must respond quickly by utilizing their internal core competencies and prepare elements for differentiated competitive advantage.

The pandemic has accelerated the digital reinvention of the world, but now is the time to make bold decisions to transform your organization into the 21st Century. Future-focused credit union leaders can explore how artificial intelligence (AI) will change interactions, interfaces, and identity — for both members and business partner relationships.

There never has been a more challenging time to be a leader. Everything that can change, is changing. Customers are shifting their behaviors, new and disruptive business models are reshaping industries - and everywhere you look, technology is transforming our experience of the world and how we do things.

In this collection of articles written for the Harvard Business Review, futurist Mike Walsh explores the implications of the Algorithmic Age, and the challenges and opportunities raised by AI. In his view, the leaders of the future need to embrace an entirely new set of skills, capabilities and mindsets in order to be successful. We have to become algorithmic rather than analogue leaders - which means we have to both cultivate a deep understanding of human complexity as well as a flair for computational thinking.

Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation – Episode #726 – Host: Mitch Joel. For over a decade, I have been a fan of everything that Mike Walsh has created. From the genuine and beautiful aesthetic of his brand, style and design, to how his brain thinks so rapidly about our rapidly changing work space. He moves so quickly (and fast) that whenever I was at the airport (remember airports?), I would wonder if I would run into him. Mike used to travel over 300 days a year, researching trends, collecting case studies and presenting on the future of business and leadership. Now, we both sit and wait for the stages, conferences and associations to come back to life. With that change comes opportunity.

This week I am thrilled to welcome Mike Walsh to the show. Mike is the CEO of Tomorrow, a global consultancy on designing companies for the 21st century. A global nomad, futurist, and author of the bestselling book, The Algorithmic Leader, he advises some of the world’s biggest organizations on digital transformation and disruptive innovation in this new era of machine intelligence. Mike is also a prolific writer and commentator, whose views have appeared in a wide range of international publications including the Harvard Business Review, Inc. Magazine, BusinessWeek, Forbes, and The Wall Street Journal.

It’s an understatement to say the recent COVID-19 crisis created all kinds of chaos. Organizations suddenly had dispersed their workforces across a corporate diaspora with uneven connections, had to adjust supply chains and planning to shifting realities, and even saw their sophisticated artificial intelligence systems being thrown out of whack.
