AI: Can you afford to wait?
AI has been around for decades but recently Generative AI has been hitting the headlines and there’s a lot of media hype about the exciting ways in which it will transform the world of work.
In our experience from talking with clients, not all companies are taking action yet…. There are varying degrees of adoption and perhaps many CEOs are waiting for the hype to die down before committing to a plan of action.
The question is – can you afford to wait?
As part of our Future of Work series, Paolo Moscuzza met Clive White, an expert in leading strategic tech-enabled, business transformation. Paolo and Clive first worked together on one such transformation – Clive was leading on the tech aspects of the change and OE Cam was assessing and developing leadership capability. As CEO of Hyperforma, Clive has worked with many Executive teams to navigate disruptive technologies. He believes that CEOs need to take action now and ‘Get Curious’ about GenAI and begin a process of managed experimentation…
“Firstly, everyone needs to get a bit closer to the technology – not to become experts, but get curious about the technology, what does it mean for you… your organisation and what does it mean for your customers?”
In this video interview, Paolo talks to Clive about Gen AI and the potential organisational implications. What new roles might be created and what does that mean for the Executive team power dynamic? What are the ‘watchouts’ and what should leadership teams be doing now to navigate the complex change ahead?
This video is 13 minutes long – for those in a hurry, fast forward to 11mins 20 seconds where Paolo asks the final question “Looking ahead to the next five years, what one piece of advice would you give to leadership teams facing another period of significant disruption?”
We hope you enjoy this video. If you find it useful, please share with colleagues via social media.
