In a growing competitive environment, business leaders are expected to be at the forefront of technology adoption. Businesses and institutions leverage technology to streamline operations, optimally allocate resources, and explore new avenues of growth. However, the benefits of technology adoption, specifically in the realm of Artificial Intelligence and automation adoption, can go vastly unrealized if not accompanied by a talented workforce to lead the implementation of new technologies and execution of technology-backed strategies and solutions. When businesses align their interests with societal interests, and continue to leverage their use of technology-backed solutions, potential benefits are unlimited. Companies that intend to make a successful transition and attain a technological competitive advantage must employ a well-defined, dynamic, and innovative strategy which incorporates both human capital and technology capacity.
