Posts tagged with #leadership explore how executives can effectively guide their organisations through the complexities of digital evolution.
In June of 2024, I introduced the concept of the AI Stages of Adoption (AISA), a framework for understanding where organisations are in their AI journey. Since then, I’ve had countless conversations with business leaders about how this framework helps them navigate their transformation. Today, I want to share a deeper perspective on AISA and how you can use it to accelerate your organisation’s AI adoption.
As organisations adopt artificial intelligence (AI) more widely, a critical challenge emerges: how do you build and manage teams capable of delivering on AI’s promise of increased productivity, enhanced customer experiences, accelerated innovation, and sustainable competitive advantage?
While here in San Francisco for a business trip, I got the opportunity to spend time with technology innovators and leaders, and what struck me was the contrast in AI adoption approaches, and openness to transformation using AI compared to my experiences in Europe. A new benchmark report from Gallup has confirmed what many of us in technology leadership have long suspected: Europe’s lag in AI adoption isn’t a matter of insufficient capital – it’s a cultural challenge that runs deep.
As artificial intelligence (AI) advances into the workplace rapidly, one of the most pressing questions on everyone’s mind is, “If machines can do our jobs faster, more accurately, and at a lower cost, what happens to us?” It’s true that AI is beginning to redefine the very essence of work, raising concerns about the potential displacement of knowledge workers. However, I’d like to propose an alternative perspective—one where those same workers earn the same or more whilst working far fewer hours.
I had an incredible afternoon as a guest lecturer at the The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) where I got to discuss harnessing AI for organisational transformation led from the Board, at this summer’s Data Science for Executives class.
I recently spoke with Duncan Jefferies about how businesses can effectively harness generative AI to drive organisational transformation. The resulting AWS executive’s guide to generative AI offers a comprehensive roadmap for business leaders navigating this transformative technology. Here are the key insights and practical steps for organisations looking to unlock the potential of generative AI.
Last night I had the pleasure of speaking at the Chief Wine Officer event hosted by AWS at London’s National Portrait Gallery. The focus was on demystifying generative AI and helping business leaders understand how to harness its potential for real organisational transformation.
In my article about not taking your foot off the gas, published just as the world returned to some degree of normality in July 2021, I discussed that the pandemic was the forcing function that challenged businesses to adapt and engage in broad organisational transformation using the cloud, and that it should not be seen as a reason to slow down.
For many Boards, the pandemic has catalysed broad business change by accelerating digital transformation initiatives. The availability of cloud computing has democratised access to technology, and businesses of all shapes and sizes have seized on this opportunity to: increase revenue, margin, and profit; enter new markets and launch new products and services; delight, excite and get closer to their customers; and become more operationally efficient, increasing productivity, cutting waste, and reducing costs.
