Ph.D., C.Eng, E.Eng, FBCS
FL, USTechnology thought leader and Harvard Business Review author, Dr. Robert Plant translates the tech-future into strategic execution for today's executives.
Executive leadership is about seeing the future before anyone else. Unfortunately, many executives have difficulty identifying the key events and signs that signal a transformational change in the technology landscape is about to occur. Careers and business empires have been won and lost on these moments, and just as the technologies that surround us today were all just once dots on the technology horizon, new technologies and initiatives are permeating and bubbling up on that horizon to take their place. The question every executive must therefore address is how to recognize them and what will their emergence mean for their organization.
A polymath thought leader on new technologies and their impact on business strategy, Robert brings to his lectures and writing a unique perspective. One gained from combining his formal training in theoretical computer science and a doctorate in Artificial Intelligence with a twenty five year career as a Business School Professor. During which he has undertaken teaching and research at leading universities around the world. He is based at the epicenter of the Americas, in Miami where he is Director of The Intelligent Computer Systems Research Institute.
Constantly visiting technology firms; research labs; entrepreneurial start-ups, and communicating with businesses leaders enables Robert to identify and link together the jig saw of pieces that ultimately combine into emergent technologies. This is a challenging task, these puzzle pieces are continually morphing as they and their ecosystems interact with one another, but one that he embraces and has molded into his 'everything is a case study' methodology, analysis method. Renound as an energetic speaker, he shares his insights with a touch of British humor and a global perspective to his corporate audiences, at executive workshops, as well as working in personal one-on-one executive coaching sessions.
