Hosni Adra didn’t just predict the digital transformation, he’s been building it for 33 years. As CEO of Createasoft, he shipped the first commercial digital twin in 2011, four years before the term became buzzworthy. Now his AI-driven simulations are eliminating the $2.3 trillion in manufacturing waste that plagues global supply chains.
Dive into our inaugural episode of Activating Technology 5.0 as Hosni shares candid insights about:
- The cybersecurity chokehold: How 2.5-month approval delays for zero-risk AI implementations are killing competitive advantage
- The “hurry up and wait” epidemic: Why 90% of factories claim to do “just-in-time” but actually pile inventory everywhere
- AI workforce optimization scandal: The controversial feature that identifies your best-performing employees (and why companies panic and turn it off)
- Technology 5.0’s killer app: Making complex analytics accessible to frontline workers who don’t know what a Pareto chart is
- The coming workforce split: Who survives automation and who gets left behind
Hosni’s journey from war-torn Lebanon to Silicon Valley innovation reveals the mindset shifts required to thrive in an AI-first economy. His prediction: companies adopting AI companions + agents in the next 24 months will dominate their industries.
The question isn’t whether AI will transform your business. It’s whether you’ll lead the transformation or become its casualty.
Essential listening for any executive serious about competitive survival.
