Oliver Gassmann (OG) and Christian Nielsen (CN) convened at the Business Model Conference in Bologna, where he gave the opening keynote on business model innovation. His emphasis has been on digital technologies and generative AI as game changers for companies–and their business models. We completed the interview with Oliver and Naomi online after the conference. They work together at the University of St. Gallen on several research projects on AI-based business models and how AI will influence business model innovation in future years.
