How to Shift Your Mindset to Become Irreplaceable in the Age of AI

I joined enterprise industry legends Pascal Bornet, Ray Wang, and Vala Afshar to explore a new future forward and I’m feeling so inspired! ✨

I’ve known Ray Wang and Vala Afshar for years, too many to count. I’ve also followed the work of Pascal Bornet, also, for too many years to count.

It was a coming home of sorts when I joined them on DisrupTV for a conversation about AI and the mindset needed to think beyond automation. This was also my first public conversation about my new book, Mindshift: Transform Leadership, Drive Innovation, and Reshape the Future.

It’s been five long years since I’ve published a book, and a lot has changed. What hasn’t changed though is common leadership mindsets and practices. In an era of AI, that has to change. You can’t automate your way to innovation. You can pre-order it now on Amazon or your favorite bookstore for delivery this coming week! 🙏

My segments starts immediately following introductions…

Brian discussed his new book “Mindshift,” emphasizing the need for leaders to embrace innovation and challenge legacy models. He highlighted the importance of self-awareness and scenario planning to navigate the “novel economy” shaped by AI. Pascal introduced his book “Irreplaceable,” focusing on the three competencies of the future: AI readiness, change readiness, and human readiness.

Pascal Bornet, the founder and former leader of the “AI and Automation” practices at McKinsey & Company and Ernst & Young and author of Irreplaceable: The Art of Standing Out in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.

Pascal stressed the importance of genuine creativity, critical thinking, and social authenticity in maintaining human relevance amidst technological advancements.

Ray and I will be on stage at Constellation’s Connected Enterprise in Half Moon Bay, CA, on October 29th at 3:45pm. Hope to see you there!
