Professor Robert Wolcott explores PROXIMITY: Just-in-Time Breakthroughs Transforming Business, Society, and Daily Life

What if you could have whatever you want, produced, and provided immediately and affordably no matter how customized―with minimal environmental impact? Products, services, and experiences on demand. Just-in-time anything, anywhere, anytime. This radical change is underway, as digital technologies push the production and provision of value ever closer to the moment of demand.

Professor Robert Wolcott will discuss his latest book, PROXIMITY, which provides a framework to understand how rapidly advancing technologies―from generative AI and 3D printing to lab-grown meats, renewable energy, and virtual reality― are transforming every industry―and our lives.

Offering unparalleled foresight for leaders and innovators, he shares how pervasive this trend will be. PROXIMITY represents an entirely new way to serve customers, with critical implications for corporate strategy, investing, public policy, supply chain resilience, and sustainability. Incremental changes to existing business models won’t suffice.

PROXIMITY offers a playbook for business leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs to win this rapidly emerging game―and for each of us to consider the implications for our careers, families, communities, and lives.

Each attendee will receive a copy of PROXIMITY.

This enhanced program is a joint event with the Kellogg and Harvard Business School alumni clubs from Wisconsin. We have extended the event agenda to allow more time to network and hear from our guest speaker.

This is a great learning opportunity, and members and guests are encouraged to bring their teams and colleagues to attend. Please contact ACG Wisconsin if you would like to reserve a table and register your team.
