Israeli Business Leaders Discuss AI Transformation and 'Second Founding'

Israeli business leaders at the EY Journey conference discussed the necessity of a "Second Founding" for companies to effectively integrate AI. Gigi Levy-Weiss of NFX argued that fundamental operational overhauls, not just tool adoption, are required to compete. Panelists from EY, HiBob, Bank Hapoalim, and Qumra Capital debated the challenges of transforming existing organizations, the importance of cultural shifts, and the need for speed and executive leadership in AI adoption. The consensus was that incremental changes are insufficient, and a complete reimagining of business processes is essential for success.
