Keynote – Alistair Croll
summary
Companies' lifespans collapse from average S&P 500 life 70 → 15 years, so success now means adaptivity not scale; organizations must sense, decide, act by instrumenting everything, pushing analytics into real time and using continuous delivery to iterate. Examples given: farming labour falls from ~70% to <1%, Tesla treats cars as a timeshare in a self‑driving fleet, JP Morgan replaces 360,000 billable hours with software and data‑driven choices show 5–6% annual advantage.
