Today, I had the privilege of meeting with Professor John D Branch, an icon in business strategy and a distinguished faculty member at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan. Our discussion at academy from stc was incredibly insightful. We explored best practices for managing strategies in fast-paced industries like telecom and the transformative impact of AI on global firms. A special thanks to my colleague Yahya Asiri for making this possible. This conversation left me inspired and eager to apply these insights to drive innovation and sustainable growth. #BusinessStrategy #Telecom #AI #Innovation #Leadership #FutureofWork

Jonathan Flynn recently hosted a thought-provoking webinar where Lisa Weaver-Lambert introduced her recently published book ‘The AI Value Playbook’. The AI Value Playbook focuses on questions frequently posed by leaders and boards: How can businesses adapt to these emerging technologies? How can they start building and deploying AI as a strategic asset to drive efficiency? What risks or threats need to be considered? How quickly can value be created? Attended by business leaders from across multiple sectors, the interactive session covered AI’s productivity paradox, bridging the knowledge gap for non-technical leaders, characteristics of AI-forward companies, success factors in implementation, strategic considerations and future skills and talent required.
