Byron Tarry has announced the launch of Nexxt, an industry driven ‘social enterprise’ aiming to empower and enable business transformation opportunities that exist in the age of AI.
Developed through months of co-creation with over 20 progressive peer leaders, Nexxt is looking to respond to the growing challenges faced by the industry with regard to navigating the waters of AI and technology evolution.
Byron Tarry, founder and chief transformation officer of Nexxt, said: “We keep hearing the same thing: ‘I know I need to act on AI - but I’m not sure how, or even where to Start. So, we can’t just be another AI ‘cheerleading’ voice - AI is just a tool! Rather we must anchor ourselves as a business transformation enablement organisation in an AI age. Do so, and we hope we can become the industry’s ‘place to go’ for help in navigating the complex but exciting journeys & opportunities ahead.”
Tarry elaborated: “Our hope is that Nexxt won’t just be recognised for the learning it enables or initiatives it sparks, but - whether via the community we aggregate, or the professional services we offer - for how we can help in amplifying the ‘brand’ defining future forward stories we all need to inspire us in pursuing our own leadership potential.”
Brad Hintze, EVP, global marketing at Crestron and member of the initial Thinktank that inspired the formation of Nexxt, remarked: “There’s a huge appetite for ‘think different’ leadership and learning right now, but the pressure to ‘pursue AI opportunity’ is creating more confusion than clarity. I am proud to have been a part of what Nexxt is building - especially its community activation and enablement goals. Creating a trusted space to learn, lead, and build what’s Nexxt is exactly what our industry needs to not only survive but thrive in this moment.”
Nexxt will make its public debut at InfoComm 2025 with an invitation for the industry to engage.
