Our objective in this post is to explore the concept of "Surfing the Tsunami" and to find ways to navigate the ever-changing tides of life. Life is a constant change, and resisting it leads to frustration and missed opportunities. We need to embrace change first before we can surf the tsunami. It is better to embrace change rather than fear it. By doing so, we can open ourselves up to new experiences, ideas, and possibilities, instead of fearing the unknown. We need to cultivate adaptability and flexibility to navigate the waves of change effectively. Just as surfers adjust their p...

Week 5 MBA 6601 Blog Post #2: Impact of AI in a Grand Spectrum

Image
It is our belief that Prof. Kelsey, in his book Surfing the Tsunami, speaks of the importance of adapting and accepting AI as it is and will be an integral part of the future of our economy as well as the rest of the world. Artificial intelligence has already made a significant impact on a variety of platforms, from social media to e-commerce such as Amazon, digital assistance to the automotive industry, and more. This book uses Amazon as an example of when it first appeared on the web in the early 2000s. It was once believed that Amazon's e-books would not compete with traditional bookstores (* BN), but the reality couldn't be more different. There is no doubt that e-books and Kindles are among the most popular electronic devices today. Not to compare AI and Amazon, but Amazon today is a major part of how everyone shops. You can't go down a neighborhood without seeing Amazon delivery trucks.  When organizations embrace the change rather than resisting it, they wil...

Week 4 Blog Post #1: Chapter 4 of Surfing The Tsunami - Level 1 Adapt

Image
 1. The first step is to adapt (good): learn more and pay attention; keep track of the situation things are headed 2. Adopt (better): adopt AI-related tools and platforms, so that you can be more successful involved in managing AI 3. Adept (the best): learn about the development of AI directly from those who are developing it Coding and how to work with data related to it. Adapt = Wait and See The author states, "T his chapter recognizes that Adapt is the starting point for just about everyone – wait and see, and maybe something triggers you into action, maybe it doesn’t. I called Adapt “good”, because trying to grow and learn and respond is better than nothing. At least you’re more aware than you were. All I’m saying is, don’t get comfortable – at this stage, I recommend being more proactive, where you are getting up and actually pursuing some things." Three options for dealing with AI have been discussed previously in this chapter. These are adapt, adopt, and adept, all o...
