'There is no remote work. There is only work,' futurist Mike Walsh said during a session on the future of the industry at the Schwab Impact conference.

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.

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.

Are you prepared for the Age of Machine Intelligence? That's a time when machines anticipate consumers' choices before they are made. That age is nearer than many people realize, according to author/futurist Mike Walsh, who said business leaders need to understand how the new reality impacts the decisions they make.
