Academic Insights: Strategy & Managers in the Age of AI with Prof. Mantere

Monday, April 3, 2023
7 PM JST

The McGill Alumni Association of Japan kindly welcomes Professor Saku Mantere to the Academic Insight Series. This ongoing series is intended to bring McGill professors closer to alumni.

Recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are suggesting radical transformations for both companies and the societies in which they operate. During this seminar, Prof. Mantere will explore how rapidly developing AI tools will transform the work of strategists in organizations. We explore the roles of strategists as market analysts, decision makers, facilitators of innovation and communicators of organizational purpose, in how they are affected by AI tools. We look both at how they make some forms of strategy work redundant (AI automation) whilst enabling new types of work (AI innovation).

After the seminar, those interested can join Prof. Mantere for a Karaoke session at a nearby venue. Details will be sent to you closer to the event date.

Grey Matter Session - 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM (In-person session)
Karaoke Session - 9:30 PM - 11:00 PM (venue TBC)
