Imagine a Future Without Traditional CEOs…. In a recent episode of BCG’s Imagine This... podcast, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Managing Director and Senior Partner Judith K. Wallenstein explores a fascinating future scenario where the role of CEOs has evolved dramatically. By 2030, the concept of the CEO as we know it today may be replaced by the Chief Ecosystem Orchestrator. This new role reflects a shift in responsibilities and skills, emphasizing the management of complex external relationships and technological advancements. Some of my key takeaways include: - The necessity for CEOs to adapt to rapid technological changes and geopolitical tensions. - The rise of the Co-CEO model for handling increased complexity. - AI's pivotal role in decision-making and strategic foresight. - As leaders, it's crucial to develop broad business acumen, strengthen external relationships, embrace technological innovation, and foster a culture of adaptability and resilience.   Listen to the podcast for more insights on this transformative leadership journey - https://lnkd.in/gqFtJe4g   #BCGCEOAdvisory #Leadership #FutureOfWork #Innovation #BusinessTransformation

Wait A Minute, Doc. Are You Telling Me You Built A Time Machine... Out Of A DeLorean? BCG EDGE – our one-day interactive expo – inspired us all in so many ways. Together with our tech partners and collaborators, startups, and other experts, not only did we witness how tech innovations are coming to life but engaged in meaningful conversations about the impact they can create for businesses and the world at large. Every showcase highlighted the transformative power of #GenAI and offered a glimpse of the future. Really mind-blowing! And: Every artificial intelligence journey is different. Each one is shaped around an organization’s starting point, circumstances, and goals. But a single thread connects the pioneers of #AI at scale. They typically dedicate 10% of their AI effort to algorithms, 20% to data and technological backbone, and 70%—the lion’s share—to business and #people #transformation. #BCGEdge BCG on Transformation BCG on People and Organization BCG on Digital and Technology
