Thriving Through Digital Ecosystems
Why ecosystems? Because MIT research found that companies with 50% or more of their revenues from digital ecosystems had higher revenues and higher profit margins than their industry's average. Ecosystems move beyond linear supply chains to partnering with providers of complementary products and services (or sometimes competitors) to create a better customer experience, among other benefits. We'll share MIT case studies and survey results and facilitate a conversation with digital leaders on how they are each brokering connections with their firms, customers and partners.

Peter Weill, CISR,  will moderate the panel including:

Where Computers Defeat Humans,
and Where They Can't
ALPHAGO, the artificial intelligence system built by the Google subsidiary DeepMind, has just defeated the human champion, Lee Se-dol, four games to one in the tournament of the strategy game of Go. Why does this matter? Erik Brynjolffson and Andy McAfee explain in this Op-Ed published last week in the New York Times.

Erik will moderate this year's Academic Keynote, and Andy will give the Closing Keynote. Don't miss them on May 18!
