Life is a series of Now. How will you use it?
For over thirty years, technology has become more interwoven with both our professional and personal lives. With the exponential growth of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies, business leaders find themselves in an existential crisis: How do you make decisions in the face of so much change?

Through these reflections, Verma defines the power of Now as a convergence of Information, Context, and Choice. From these three pillars of Now, we write our future--for better or worse. As the speed of Real Time increases, so will the consequences of our decisions.
In the explosion of AI, leaders have a responsibility to learn before they act. We must accept our decisions impact not only ourselves, but the world for generations to come. We must use the tools available to not only yield short-term profit, but to create insight for long-term impact and growth. Doing so will require both great courage and conscience. It cannot wait. The time is Now.
