6^th RAJAGIRI MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

In today’s rapidly evolving business environment, characterized by technological breakthroughs such as AI, automation, IoT, rise in remote and hybrid work model, consumer behavior disruptions by new digital platforms, such as social media, influencers, and AI-driven marketing tools, changing financial markets due to cryptocurrencies, decentralized finance (DeFi), and fintech innovation and unpredictable global disruptions exacerbated by global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical shifts, and environmental challenges, the ability to innovate and adapt is more crucial than ever. As organizations navigate the dynamic business environment, they must fundamentally rethink strategies to ensure long-term viability and sustainability. In this dynamic landscape, business resilience - the ability to swiftly recover from challenges and maintain operations in the face of uncertainty - has emerged as a core competency of successful organizations. However, the traditional notion of resilience is evolving. The integration of AI and advanced technologies is transforming how businesses anticipate risks, make decisions, and respond to disruptions. Coupled with the concept of evolutionary resilience, which emphasizes continuous adaptation and learning, businesses are now better positioned to thrive amid uncertainty.
