Step into Tomorrow: It's More Than AI, It's the Next Digital Divide

We stand at the threshold of a new digital divide. Artificial Intelligence is reshaping what’s possible, and the ability to harness its potential is soon to become the pivotal distinction between leaders and laggards in the impending era. We’re shifting rapidly to a world of “AI everywhere”, and the people and organizations that understand how to leverage it are not only multiplying productivity, but amplifying creativity and accelerating innovation. Advanced organizations are not only working to embed AI in their work streams, but developing AI-enabled digital workers to collaborate with their traditional workforce. Embark on your journey to leverage AI’s transformative potential, as Alison demystifies the confusion surrounding the technology, unravels the complexities of this revolution, and provides a practical framework for professionals who are eager to jump in and start benefiting from the advantages it offers.

Together, we'll ride the waves of change, uncovering the challenges and opportunities that come with integrating these technologies into our daily lives. Alison provides not just insights but practical tools, down-to-earth advice, and tangible steps to help you not only understand the tech wave but to actively leverage these innovations to your advantage. Don't just watch from the sidelines; become an active participant in this tech-driven future and discover how you can make it work for you.

Dead or Disruptive: Is Web3 “Game Over” or Just Beginning?

We’ve grown accustomed to technology-driven change. But never has there been one as complex, sensational, and at times even scandalous as Web3. Should executives work to find a path for their business in the space, or is this all distraction and hype? Alison not only reports from the front lines of her work with pioneers in the space, but equips your audience to navigate through the complexity of this new technology. Ultimately, she prepares your audience to spot change as it occurs, instead of waiting until it’s too late.

How Blockchains Will Change Business (and What to do About it)

The cover of Alison’s book drives it home: “Understand it, because ultimately you will be competing against it.” The first use cases of blockchain technology triggered sensational headlines: a trillion-dollar crypto market created out of seemingly “thin air”, multi-million dollar “jpegs”, and with the collapse of FTX a story so scandalous that studios are already fighting over the movie rights. But these headlines obscure the new infrastructure that organizations across industries and sectors have put into place to leverage this technology. This real change sits under the surface and can be almost imperceptible to those outside of the space—until it is too late. Alison shines a spotlight on what is really happening and how new fundamentals are being applied to that are poised to transform the way our digital world works.
