Few corners of the B2B enterprise have seen more disruption and change than the sales function. Consider just the past five years – a period which saw sales forces roiled by a global pandemic, then an uncertain recovery with accompanying swings in demand and supply. Adding to these challenges are tightened access to capital, an uncertain labor market, and the accelerated impact of AI. These factors are poised to disrupt sales organizations in unforeseen ways that many firms haven't yet anticipated. Join us as Goizueta adjunct professor Bob Kelly reviews the most important sales force trends, management practices, and research insights for high performing organizations to thrive amidst the changes and position your sales force for success.

Warren Buffet's annual letters to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders showcase corporate American writing at its best, featuring memorable quotes like “Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful," and “When it's raining gold, reach for a bucket, not a thimble."  Such writings are crafted with a human audience in mind.  However, what if 90% of the corporate filings these days are read by bots?  

As AI advances, concerns grow about its impact on jobs, with predictions suggesting automation could eliminate 73 million jobs by 2030, but 85% of the jobs that will exist by 2030 haven’t even been invented yet.

In this session, Dr. Garg will share his framework to measure if your business is AI-ready, and how AI will transform the way we work.
