UPDATED: The Wiley Innovation Black Book on Exponential Technologies<\/strong><\/a> was launched at Wiley Global Innovation Conclave 2019<\/strong> (WGIC)<\/a> in Bengaluru, on 31st January. It is a resource guide comprised of 17 co-authored, thought-provoking pieces written by industry captains; they share their vision on the impact of exponential technologies across industries in future forward scenarios. Collectively, these business leaders have formed the Wiley Innovation Advisory Council (WIAC).<\/p>\n

For the first time in\u00a0India, 17 industry leaders have come together to contribute one chapter each, on exponential technologies and to impart what we foresee in the future of work. The book covers the possibilities, the scenarios, the projections — all coming together and stitched in a format where every industry segment has been represented, every function and experience has been articulated.<\/p>\n

This book is about the exponential technologies<\/strong>\u2014(conversational) AI, blockchain, IoT, VR, AR, mixed reality, analytics & big data\u2014and how their adoption rates are growing exponentially, to impact business in various industries.<\/p>\n

Technology Transforming Business<\/h3>\n

Technology is evolving at an exponential rate, transforming the world and the way we work and live, more rapidly than we imagine. Driven by tech, the business landscape, business models, and business processes are all being transformed responding to new challenges and opportunities. There is disruption, innovation, and new strategic initiatives. We are moving from products to services-driven today. Companies need to transform themselves for all this, at every level. Business functions like Marketing, HR, Customer Relationships, for instance, are being transformed by technology. Taking learnings from consumer-driven services and apps, the business world wants to give the same experience to customers. So conversational interfaces are being built on top of business applications. If an employee wants to apply for leave, they chat with a bot (and not a person in HR).<\/p>\n

If you are looking for use cases, of the application of AI in Marketing for instance, then this book is an excellent resource. It\u2019s a compendium of observations, predictions, opinions, vision, and solid business advice. Hence a must-read for every business leader.<\/p>\n

The annual editions of this Black Book will keep business leaders updated on the latest exponential technologies, trends, forecasts\u2014all intending to be a reference for businesses to evaluate the possibilities of new technology adoption.<\/p>\n
