For most organisations disruption has now become the new normal and the rate of change is growing at an exponential rate. Businesses are confronted with the reality that tomorrow's customers, markets and business models will be very different from today's. Both internal and external customers are becoming more discerning and demanding rich, personalised and interactive experiences. To meet these needs organisations will need to blend user centric design experiences with deep data insights, augmented by artificial intelligence and cognitive computing.
You will gain an understanding of what technologies will be the real disrupters and how your organisation can develop a strategy to capitalise on this market in transition.
Join one of our three streams, designed to help your specific area of business – be it Asset Intensive Industry, Customer Focused Analytics & Design or Business Executive. Regardless of your focus you will receive an in-depth overview of the technologies, business practices and strategies that are transforming your industry.
Even creative industries such as cooking are being disrupted by technology. Taste is very subjective and once considered beyond the realms of understanding for a computer system, yet IBM’s Chef Watson has changed all that with an analytical approach to creativity.
Just for fun we will be demonstrating the disruptive power of cognitive computing with breakfast and lunch menus created by Chef Watson and then a Watson Food Hack at lunch: Can IBM Watson create recipes that match human creativity? You be the judge as we spice up lunch with an interactive cooking demonstration and give you a taste of technological disruption.

In this session he will share with you the blueprint to becoming a disruptive market force.

Learn how you can leverage Bimodal IT and Rapid Prototyping to drive business agility and delight your customers.
