At a DFCG x OpenAI CxO lunch, Jerry Black — Senior Advisor at Aeon Japan and its former EVP & CDXO — called AI and agentics the most impactful innovation of his lifetime. His advice: don't wait for organizational structures to be ready; treat AI as the catalyst to reinvent yourself now. Business leaders trained to use data for decisions must instead let AI empower humans, which takes courage and confidence. The author agrees most companies' "wait until the org is ready" posture is exactly what holds them back.
