PAULA O'REILLY
Senior Managing Director, US Midwest Technology Lead,
Accenture
LEARN ABOUT PAULAWhen Atoms meet Bits
The next wave of business transformation will create the foundations of a new reality – a shared reality that seamlessly converges the physical lives we’ve been leading with the digital lives we’ve been rapidly expanding.
This is an important time in the decades-long technology revolution that has been shaping business, society and our lives. Businesses have leveraged cloud and data, dramatically speeding up change and bending the innovation curve. New forces of change bring hope that solutions to problems once deemed unsolvable might soon be within our grasp.
And to continue forward momentum, we need innovative Next Gen Leaders to successfully manage this massive business transformation.
The next wave of business transformation will combine our physical lives of atoms and our digital ones of bits. The goal is not incremental improvement, but a step change. The true value of this convergence is in creating something fundamentally new.
Look at generative AI – many people are using it to generate digital images and content, but we can already see how this technology will shape the future of science, enterprise data, how we design and manufacture products, and so much more.
In today's Early Afternoon Keynote, Paula O’Reilly, Senior Managing Director - US Midwest Technology Lead at Accenture, will explore the landscape of how fusing digital and physical is not only generating new products and services; it’s the force behind a new era of scientific research. And how Next Gen Leaders are creating the tools and disruptions to rewrite how the world works.. where atoms and bits collide, and new possibilities emerge.

CHRISTINA JACKSON
Chief People Officer,
Donatos Pizza
LEARN ABOUT CHRISTINAThe Missing Piece
According to a Harvard Business Review article: “There are just a lot of things that machines can do better than human beings…”. While this may be true - empathy, compassion for others and authentic leadership cannot be easily automated or replicated.
Digital intelligence will no doubt become an integrated part of our daily lives, assisting us as we grow as individuals and as communities. But it is the "human factor" and the values we hold, share and teach that will ultimately shape and define who we are as a society and where we choose to take our digitally-partnered paths as we move forward.
So as we re-imagine life in our post-pandemic world and seek new ways to leverage these unique technologies for faster, cheaper and better results, it is imperative that the new foundation we create be one of respect, inclusion and support, both for ourselves and for the Next Gen Leaders who will build on that legacy as they dream and realize the future.
Afternoon Keynote Christina Jackson, Chief People Officer at Donatos Pizza, will guide us as we explore this new foundation, challenge our current approach to decision-making and remember not to forget the most important piece.
