Underestimating AI 21.05.2024 3:42
Many leaders experimenting with AI feel let down by the results because they don't explore it properly, so they only get a limited view of wht it can do.

Putting AI To Work 01.05.2024 4:48
A year ago, when I was talking to clients about AI, many were still asking Why questions: Why is it important? Why should I care? Why should I make it a priority? Now we've moved on from those questions, and it's good to see most leaders are convinced AI is important and here to stay. We're moving from scepticism to action and from curiosity to application. The next steps are What, How, and Who -...
