AI STRATEGY AT THE SPEED OF INFERENCE: What Happens When Analysis Is Free
As a Columbia Women's Circle Board member, I’m hosting this NY Tech Week Panel Discussion, June 4th. I’m delighted to bring together AI experts on the topic of AI Strategy and look forward to our discussion!
___________________________
Strategic advantage has long rested on the quality of analysis: who could synthesize the most information, find the sharpest insight, and turn it into a defensible plan. AI has collapsed the cost and time of that work. Market intelligence that took six weeks now takes an afternoon, and is often stale by the time leadership convenes to discuss it.
When analysis is cheap, the activities that defined the strategist's role for fifty years (data gathering, framework application, deck construction) lose their economic value. What remains is judgment, narrative, political navigation, and the ability to commit an organization to action under uncertainty. Those skills are scarcer, harder to teach, and largely absent from how strategy talent is currently developed.
Join us on June 4 as this panel examines what that means for the people who buy strategy work, sell it, fund the firms disrupting it, and train the next generation expected to practice it.
Core Questions
What does decision-making look like at the speed of inference, and where does it break? How are PE operators and corporate boards repricing strategy services now that the underlying analytical labor has been commoditized? What is the new moat for consulting firms when generic models replicate most of a junior associate's output? If AI handles the apprenticeship work, how does the next generation of senior strategists develop the judgment AI cannot replicate? And where has this transformation underdelivered, and what are firms quietly walking back?
