According to the Bank of America, S&P 500 companies in 1990 needed an average of seven employees to deliver $1 million in revenue. In 2020, however, that number had decreased to less than one. This stark contrast highlights the profound impact that technology and automation have had (and will continue to have) on the modern workforce. As we look to the future, it is clear that the role of automation in the workplace will only continue to grow. While this may raise concerns about job displacement and economic inequality, there are also significant opportunities to leverage automation to improve productivity, drive innovation, and create new business models.In this extended session Scott will deliver one of his famous Harvard style "case study" sessions, drawing together lessons from our keynote speakers and creating take home lessons for you to implement into your own business.
