Abdullah cuts through the noise of digital and AI hype to ask the question that matters most: where does technology create durable competitive advantage — and where is it simply table stakes? Drawing on his role as Digital Lead on the Executive MBA at GIBS and his advisory work with organisations navigating digital transformation across multiple sectors, this keynote gives leaders a clear strategic lens for making consequential technology decisions. It is a strategy talk, not a technology talk.
Digital, AI and Cyber Strategy: From Hype to How
Digital transformation without strategy is just expensive chaos.
Who it’s for?
CIOs, CTOs, CMOs, digital transformation executives, boards evaluating AI and technology strategy.
Outcomes
A framework for distinguishing genuine digital advantage from digital activity. The questions your board should be asking — and isn’t. Clarity on where AI creates value and where it creates risk.
