    Signature Virtual Experience - Robotics ROI: Attainable automation in a pandemic and beyond

    The pandemic has prompted a new wave of automation enthusiasm, as robots are being seen as less of a potential threat to frontline employees, and more of a health and safety partner. But even in the best of circumstances, big swing automation can be expensive, disruptive, and take years to show a return. Join fellow TEC members as renowned MIT researchers Matt Beane and Erik Brynjolfsson deliver an exclusive, first look at their latest findings, which challenge conventional wisdom while offering a playbook for higher-yield automation even as the pandemic rages on.

    Speakers:
    Prof. Matt Beane, Assistant Professor in the Technology Management Program at the University of California, Santa Barbara and a Digital Fellow with Stanford’s Digital Economy Lab
    Prof. Erik Brynjolfsson, Director of the Stanford Digital Economy Lab at the Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI) and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

Ed McLaughlin

President, Operations & Technology
“

The tech Council has been great. It’s been incredibly valuable. And I think the most important thing is probably the people getting together with peers, which is often hard to find in the right forum, the polling so you can share information, understand what people are interested in, and then making those personal connections.”

Wendy Pfeiffer

Chief Information Officer
“

The purpose of the council is … around idea exchange, information exchange, access to knowledge and to a collaborative team of other executives, and I’ve made some great contacts throughout the process. And I’ve also been able to contribute to others, which is important to me.”

Param Kahlon

UiPath / Chief Product Officer
“

It’s been extremely useful for me to participate and learn from other members on how they’re dealing with the pandemic … Personally, I was able to connect with some of our customers and partners as well. As a follow-up, I had an in-person meeting with Sanjay Srivastava who is the Chief Digital Officer at Genpact – he happened to have just relocated to Seattle. We were able to meet in-person, grab coffee, and that started a stream of collaboration and work with them.”
