Returning to the Asian Institute of Technology always feels like coming home. As a member of the first batch of PMBADT cohort, I recently had the privilege of stepping back into the classroom—this time as a guest lecturer for Professor Carl Boutet’s digital marketing class. Standing before a diverse group of professionals to discuss “The Executive Shift: AI and the Future of Digital Leadership”, it became clear that the management theories of yesterday are colliding with the digital realities of tomorrow. The energy in the room confirmed that we are all searching for a single framework to explain this turbulence—a “Unified Theory” of modern management and digital leadership.

We have reached a Tipping Point. The era of the manager who simply “does” is coming to an end. We are witnessing the birth of a new paradigm.
