Join the Booth, Kellogg and Harvard Business School Alumni Clubs for this special lunch event!
Event Details
Professor Robert Wolcott will discuss his latest book, PROXIMITY, which provides a framework to understand how rapidly advancing technologies, from generative AI and 3D printing to lab-grown meats, renewable energy, and virtual reality, are transforming every industry, and our lives.
Offering unparalleled foresight for leaders and innovators, he shares how pervasive this trend will be. PROXIMITY represents an entirely new way to serve customers, with critical implications for corporate strategy, investing, public policy, supply chain resilience, and sustainability. Incremental changes to existing business models won't suffice.
PROXIMITY offers a playbook for business leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs to win this rapidly emerging game, and for each of us to consider the implications for our careers, families, communities, and lives.
Each attendee will receive a copy of PROXIMITY.
