from Connected FM · host Erik Jaspers, Peter Hinssen, Mikis Waschl, Elizabeth Shelton
Artificial intelligence is accelerating change across every industry, but simply adding AI to existing processes won't deliver lasting results. Recorded live at World Workplace Europe, Erik Jaspers is joined by Peter Hinssen and Mikis Waschl to explore how AI is reshaping facility management, why digital transformation was only the beginning, and what organizations must do to build stronger data foundations, embrace digital twins and rethink how value is delivered. They also discuss the economics of AI, Europe's role in the future of technology and why today's leaders must prepare for a world that is never normal.
