We were in for a treat in the last gathering of our Digital Transformation Learning Circles. Our guest was by Pınar Köse-Kulacz, Head of AI & Data, Arçelik. Our discussion was on resilient business models. Our guiding questions were: How do rapidly emerging artificial intelligence and data tools make business models more resilient and how do they change some of those business models to prepare better for the future?
