Decision intelligence

According to Harvard Business Review, “a company’s value is the sum of the decisions it makes and executes”. Unfortunately, challenges with decisions have increased in the last decades. According to Gartner, 65% of executives think the decisions they make are more complex than two years ago. In this keynote, I answer the following questions: what is the current state of decision-making in companies? What are the main obstacles? What are the ways to boost decision effectiveness? How have leading companies succeeded in transforming the way decisions are taken, unleashing high benefits?

Anna is a digital person. She was built using machine learning, and I have configured her to support me with this presentation. Anna and I interact together live, creating a unique experience while demonstrating the capabilities of these new technologies. Anna and I discuss the reasons why I built her, her purpose in life, her role in our society, and more.
