CHUNKA MUIとのファイアサイド・トークに参加すべき理由
It’s hard to believe there’s only two weeks left to go until our Innovation and Insight (I&I) Day, one of the biggest days in Celent’s calendar. It’s the culmination of months of hard work by the entire company – soliciting and judging Model Award nominations, selecting the winners, writing the case studies, and getting ready to announce the award winners on the day itself.
This year is extra special for me, as I have the privilege of hosting a fireside chat with our guest speaker, Chunka Mui, a futurist and innovation advisor. Chunka and I met for the first time almost 25 years ago, when both of us were at Diamond Technology Partners, one of the most innovative strategy and technology consultancies at the time, and now part of PWC. I was just a few years into my management consulting career, while Chunka was a Managing Partner and Chief Innovation Officer. He also had just published the first book that he co-authored called “Unleashing the Killer App”, which quickly became a bestseller and the industry’s go-to resource for developing digital strategies.
We lost touch somewhat over the years, but re-kindled the conversation again after Chunka’s latest book came out, A Brief History of a Perfect Future, where he and his co-authors explore how to “invent the world we could proudly leave to our kids by 2050”. I had a chance to read the book and thought that Chunka would be perfect as a guest on I&I Day, as he’s been thinking deeply about technology and other forces changing the world around us, including AI.
I am really looking forward to the opportunity to quiz Chunka for his views on many topics, from AI to climate change to trust, and how financial institutions can embrace, navigate, and shape the changing world. We’ve had some amazing guest speakers over the years, and knowing Chunka, I am confident that he will be right up there with the best of them!
So, join us on March 21st at 10am EDT/ 2pm GMT for the plenary opening session of the day, which will include our conversation with Chunka. Register today and you will also receive a link to download a complimentary digital copy of Chunka’s latest book. Of course, we hope that you will stay around for the rest of the day and join various industry breakout sessions, where we will be announcing Model Bank, Model Insurer, Model Risk, Model Buy Side & Sell Side, and Model Wealth Manager award winners.
Personally, I can’t wait, and look forward to seeing you all there!
