In my final blog to help you entertain your friends coming over for the Wimbledon Finals, I’m going to turn my attention to a ‘starter’ – a prawn cocktail with a twist of cognitive technology. If you’re playing catch-up, here’s my ‘main‘ and ‘dessert‘.

Posted on November 10, 2015January 19, 2016 by IBM United Kingdom & Ireland

A few years ago, business leaders could see the competition coming. The biggest risk was a new rival entering the market with a better or cheaper product or service.
