Description: Leaders of 21st century companies are digital business architects requiring insight into the emerging technology landscape in order to exploit potential disruptions rather than being made irrelevant by them. The goal is not to predict the future, but to make better decisions in the present. What will be the important technologies in two to three years? What will be the impacts of these new technologies on work? Organizations? New value propositions? In this course, we will scan new technologies by looking at innovations in development as well as discuss cases of the recent past to learn from companies that were both successful and not so successful in exploiting them.
