KINGSTON, Jamaica — This Thursday, Harvard Professor Bharat Anand will deliver an insightful lecture on “Digital Transformation, Generative AI, and Strategy” at the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona Campus, marking the third installment of the distinguished lecture series. This lecture promises to offer a fresh perspective on how generative AI is reshaping business and organizational strategies in an increasingly digital world.
The event is part of a collaborative initiative between UWI Mona and the VM Group Lecturer Series, which aims to foster public advocacy and promote meaningful dialogue on issues that affect society’s progression. This series highlights the importance of thought leadership in driving social change by connecting the wealth of academic research with the broader public.
Professor Anand, who serves as the Vice Provost for Advances in Learning at Harvard University and holds the Henry R. Byers Professor of Business Administration title at Harvard Business School, is a leading authority on digital strategy and innovation. His expertise in generative AI and its impact on corporate strategy positions him as an ideal speaker for this timely discussion.
Dr. Tomlin Paul, Deputy Principal of UWI Mona, and Chair of the Distinguished Lecture Organizing Committee, emphasized the significance of this lecture, especially as institutions in Jamaica, including UWI Mona, undergo their own digital transformation processes. He stressed that any successful digital strategy today must consider the transformative role of generative AI and its potential to enhance organizational capabilities.
This lecture provides a rare opportunity for attendees to delve into the practical applications of generative AI in business strategies and engage directly with a world-renowned expert in the field.
