The Fifth Wave - Cognitive Systems

We've had four waves of Information Technology to date - Mainframe Computing, Personal Computing, Client-Server Computing and the Internet. Each changed our world more than the ones before. We are now at the start of the fifth wave - Cognitive Systems. Like each of its predecessors, it will change the world even more profoundly than those that came before.

Cognitive systems can reason about information in the same ways that human experts do. But cognitive systems never forget anything, work 24x7 and can think thousands of times faster than people. Cognitive systems aren't designed to replace people; they are designed to empower them. Putting these tools in the hands of people will multiply their effectiveness to previously unimaginable levels. Learn how cognitive systems will change your industry, your organization and your job.

With Dynamic Business Process Management your organizations intelligently reconfigure themselves to meet both your goals and the rapidly changing challenges facing your business.

Jack has spent his career developing and applying the concepts of Dynamic Business Process Management. He will show how your organization can gain its strategic benefits.
