At some point the machine breaks down and companies just can’t handle it. The connected company has the same kinds of dense, dynamic, and complex properties of well-designed cities: fast pace, high energy, rapid innovation and high productivity. And some companies are doing this today. Learn more in this webcast presented by entrepreneur and author Dave Gray.”
