Tech Talk: How tech is changing the operating model?
Being Cognitive is the new scale
Previously AI was used to assist and accelerate the existing value chains. However, the dynamics of AI have changed considerably today. AI today acts as advisors, outsourcers, and world-class employees, such that they can reinvent the value chain itself without human intervention. Whether it’s been the shift to online working, the spike in online trading, or the increase in cyber assaults, AI has emerged as a critical business capability. This reality has injected a new urgency to shift from assisted AI to unassisted AI. However, human intervention is still necessary for many AI-powered decisions. Hence there is a need to revisit the role of AI and how it is being delivered.By Ekhlaque Bari, CIO, Jubilant Foodworks

Panel 3: Securing the Rapid Growth & Revival
Virtual SOC is the Fulcrum of Secured Transformation
Only the outperformers can survive in the next normal. And to join the league of such outperformers, one needs to abreast their security module. None of which is possible without modernization. Setting up full-stack in-house cybersecurity means going beyond the organization into mobile devices, cloud services and more to monitor security across the organization. However, while building the next-generation SOC, it’s all about paying attention to the environment we operate in today. The environment is highly digitized and calls for integrated incident response and sophisticated threat identification & mitigation.Speakers:

Fireside Chat: Build Resiliency and Adaptability with Automation and AI
Organizations continuously search for the right tools to bolster productivity, support innovation, and compete in fluid marketplaces. Automation transforms work and simplifies how businesses operate. Artificial intelligence accelerates innovation by making every interaction, experience, and process more intelligent.
According to IDC Research, the worldwide economic impact of converged AI and automation across all lines of business functions, by the end of 2022 will be close to $3 trillion. These enterprises will use AI and machine learning to help collect and analyze both structured and unstructured operational data.
AI-powered automation can help define your success, distinguish you from your competition, and bolster revenue growth. It can propel teams into a cycle of innovation that helps the business serve customers more efficiently. It can make information-centric jobs more productive for business, IT, and network operations—and within application and data flows. The key is to discover how processes run, decide what to automate, and continuously improve workflows in networks and processes from the center to the edge.

Digital Track III: Workforce of today: Fiction to Frictionless
Pre COVID-19, there was a common consensus amongst most leaders that going ""PHYGITAL"" was the primary strategy, wherein the existing physical infrastructure should complement some aspects of digital. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted business dynamics across all sectors, and the only way ahead as a strategy is to go ""DIGITAL,"" wherein the strategy will be entirely digital. Fiction of the past is a reality now. People and processes convergence can occur from anywhere. Chats, messages, and videos will be centred around the work you do, not from where you do—be it in the office, at home, or anywhere in between. They will produce the same result every time, regardless of where you are carrying and who is carrying out."

Fireside Chat: Navigating the disruption of workplace
Only the outperformers can survive in the new normal. And to join the league of such outperformers one needs to aim to grow geographically, and cut across value chains all at the same time. None of which is possible without carving a completely new playbook. Setting up the operating model hitherto meant setting up operations, infrastructure, people etc. However while crafting the new operating model it’s all about taking into account the environment in which we operate today. The pandemic drastically impacted business and workplace dynamics across all sectors. Rewiring how we work. "DIGITAL" is the new roadmap to enable remote & flexible work lives and create spaces that enable people to innovate & grow. It’s time to improve flexibility, inclusion, collaboration and fill the human-interaction gap among teams, no matter when or where they’re working from.
