Considered one of the top voices in AI and the future of work, Ian Beacraft is a trusted advisor to the world's most innovative companies. The CEO and Chief Futurist of Signal and Cipher, Ian leads a strategic foresight and development agency guiding companies through the rapidly changing landscape of generative AI by educating and upskilling staff, prototyping near futures, and creating new products and services.

Looking at the future through the lenses of the past is a one way ticket to frustration and failed efforts. In this session, Ian will share hard won wisdom about why and how this time is different, and how teams and organizations can increase their odds of success at achieving the promised value of generative AI, and what the future paradigms of of work look like when we contructs teams and organizations with AI in mind. It's anything but business as usual. Attendees will come away with a concrete vision of the new possibilities AI-powered teams can achieve, and a practical map to get there.
