This time last year, we welcomed Ray Poynter to our #MarketResearch podcast to discuss some of the unique challenges being faced by heads of corporate #insights teams. Ray shared, “We need to be working on focusing on the shift from research questions to business questions. So traditionally, in insights, we've focused on research questions, but actually we're trying to help companies make better decisions." 🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/d-R7Ckeu #MRX #BrandStrategy

🎙️ Take a listen to this thought-provoking chat with Beth Elliott, UXC, on episode #270 of the #SchmidtList podcast! 🌟 We delved deep into the rise of AI in change management and the broader digital transformation landscape. Beth shared profound insights on how companies can harness AI and analog methods to drive innovation and enhance collaboration.  Here are a few key takeaways: 🔍 Human-Centered AI Implementation: AI should focus on making things more accessible for people and enabling teams to work more effectively—don’t let the technology overshadow the human aspect. 🔄 Collaborative Strategy for Transformation: Bringing leaders together to align on goals and problem statements can streamline transformation efforts. Avoid “decision by committee” and focus on breaking down silos for effective cross-functional collaboration. 📊 Continuous Evaluation and Adaptation: Especially in highly regulated environments, start with high-level strategies and iterate based on concept co-creation involving necessary stakeholders as solutions progress. Beth’s expertise in innovation and transformation consulting was genuinely enlightening. If you missed the episode, be sure to check it out! https://lnkd.in/gqE6CFRK

Many thanks to Dottie Schindlinger and Meghan Day from Diligent for inviting me to The Corporate Director Podcast. In this episode, we talked about one of my favorite topics - and one that corporate boards need to pay attention to! - Incorporating Gen AI into Business Strategy. AI can’t just be layered on top of a company’s business goals like an experiment in a new technology. Boards need to ask and understand: ❓ What’s the potential value creation by integrating AI into every area of the business? Because we all know that AI can’t exist effectively without the ecosystem around it. ❓ How will AI give a company the competitive edge over another competitor? That revenue is what will help determine the real return on investment. We also talked about the shifting governance landscape and getting ahead of risks when implementing AI.
