Technologies that once seemed improbable are now reshaping how people work and grow. In Series 5 of Take on Tomorrow—PwC’s award-winning podcast exploring the biggest challenges facing business and society—we ask one critical question: How do bold ideas gain momentum?

Join us, as we speak with experts from around the world, each working at the forefront of innovation, to learn what it takes to move ideas from vision to reality. We examine who is accelerating progress and how they’re doing it: how to make leading-edge technologies commonplace, turn ambition into action, and scale breakthroughs at speed.

But what does it really take to scale progress? How do ideas move from edgy to essential? And how can that transition help businesses solve the world’s most pressing challenges?

Join us for Series 5 of Take on Tomorrow to find out.

Confidence is down. Pressure is up. And CEOs are being asked to lead through more uncertainty than ever.

Take on Tomorrow is on the ground in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, where Sarah von Fischer discusses key findings from PwC’s 29th Global CEO Survey—and what this year’s results could mean for the C-suite, and beyond. She’s joined by Dion Shango, Senior Partner, PwC Africa, and Agnes Koops, Global Vice Chair and Global Chief Commercial Officer, PwC, to explore why CEOs are losing confidence in short-term growth—even as they continue investing in AI, innovation, and other new opportunities.

Why are some companies pulling ahead while others struggle to turn AI into real results? And are today’s leaders spending their time on the right priorities to win both now...and later? Join us as we ask what it takes to lead with agility in the age of AI.

Have you noticed something different about customer service calls lately? Maybe even something...delightful? Perhaps the service rep not only anticipated your question but had the perfect suggestion? That could be AI working behind the scenes, supporting those

call center employees and making life a little smoother for you. It’s just one way technology is shaping our everyday lives and changing how businesses serve customers—and interact with their workforce. All this change is happening at breakneck speed—so how

can businesses get ready for a new kind of connection with customers and the world? And how might those connections create new ways of working—and new kinds of value?

To find out, our hosts Femi Oke and Lizzie O’Leary are joined by Kris Narayanan, Chief Digital Officer at Verizon Business. Then, Matt Wood, PwC’s Global and US Commercial Technology and Innovation Officer, tells us what leaders need to do to drive the AI revolution

in a time of technological and cultural change.
