About
As AI transforms the workplace, what remains uniquely human and what doesn't?
Join Babson College thought leader Tom Davenport and Arthur M. Blank School for Entrepreneurial Leadership senior advisor Paul Cheek for a timely conversation on the future of business in an AI-driven world. While both see AI fundamentally reshaping organizations, they offer distinct perspectives on what comes next, from AI-enabled customer relationships to enterprises where traditional work may look radically different. Hosted by the C. Dean Metropoulos Institute for Technology and Entrepreneurship at the Arthur M. Blank School for Entrepreneurial Leadership and moderated by the Institute's Executive Director, the program will include an audience Q&A, networking reception, and book signing.
Attendees will receive complimentary copies of Tom Davenport's The New Science of Customer Relationships and Paul Cheek's No One Works Here, while supplies last.
