IBM Consulting's leadership is undergoing a change as John Granger hands over the reins to Mohamad Ali and Kelly Chambliss. While this news has left many with mixed feelings, let me take a moment to reflect on my three thoughtful interactions with John ... starting from the times when he had a brief stint living in India around 2016-17. This is my tribute to him. #1: John would review each Sector every quarter. My first review with him in 2016 was a disaster. The remote telepresence equipment failed for unknown reasons, the landline phone would not connect, and finally I had to present over a mobile phone speaker with poor audio. I ensured my next few reviews were f2f in Bengaluru, but more importantly, those reviews truly shaped me up for C-level story boarding and pitches. When John learnt I was traveling at my own cost to meet him f2f for the reviews, he immediately instructed that my travels be reimbursed ... very thoughtful of him. #2: John saw me in action in 2017 during a client's CIO meeting he and I had in Delhi for a new logo opportunity with a global enterprise. So, later when I met him at his NYC office late in 2018 and expressed my aspirations towards a leadership role in the US, he supported me wholeheartedly and entrusted our global HR leader Daniel Sturm to work this thru with the US market. While this opportunity progressed, my current role in the Philippines opened up suddenly and I immediately picked it up. Soon, John connected me to the US Sector leader of an account in trouble and asked him to work with me as ... (in his words) ... "Sanjiv can solve anything". That was truly inspiring. #3: There are two people I would openly credit for my progression to an IBM Senior Partner ... Amit Sharma and John Granger. When I met John f2f right after and thanked him, his reaction was like brushing it aside stating he hardly did anything and rather "I earned it" with what I had been doing for IBM's Center in the Philippines. Coming from someone of John's stature, these were truly defining moments of my IBM career. My best wishes to John for his next innings in life starting early 2025. #IBM #IBMConsulting #IBMPhilippines #CICPhilippines

🌐 Cognizant's Acquisition of Belcan: A Strategic Move Amid Economic Uncertainty 🌐 Cognizant's recent acquisition of Belcan is a significant step in expanding its engineering services and signals a broader trend in the IT services sector. It mimics Capgemini's acquisition of Altran in 2019. In a time of dwindling demand and economic uncertainty, such strategic acquisitions can provide a much-needed boost to M&A deal activities. Why This Matters: 🔍 Inorganic Market Share Expansion: With organic growth facing headwinds, acquiring companies like Belcan allows Cognizant to swiftly enhance its market presence and diversify its service offerings. 🔍 Capabilities Enhancement: Belcan brings robust engineering and R&D capabilities, enabling Cognizant to offer more comprehensive solutions to existing clients, thereby increasing value and deepening customer relationships. 🔍 Survival Tactics in a Competitive Industry: In an industry characterized by minimal differentiation, expanding capabilities and market share through acquisitions can be crucial for survival and growth. Offering more to the same customers helps maintain relevance and competitiveness. Strategic Implications: ✅ Adaptation to Economic Climate: M&A activities can provide stability and growth opportunities in uncertain times, helping companies like Cognizant navigate and thrive despite economic challenges. ✅ Enhanced Service Portfolio: Integrating Belcan’s strengths with Cognizant’s existing services allows for a more diversified and resilient business model. ✅ Customer-Centric Growth: Focusing on providing enhanced value to existing customers through expanded capabilities ensures sustained business relationships and loyalty. As the IT services landscape continues to evolve, strategic acquisitions will play a pivotal role in shaping the future. Companies must leverage these opportunities to remain competitive and deliver greater value to their clients.

Cognizant has not shied away from taking bold bets. It has had its share of challenges in the past and not all initiatives might have been successful. However, it is encouraging to witness a firm, which many times gets incorrectly clubbed with Indian heritage service providers, to be aspirational in the exciting area of ER&D. As I try to build more perspectives into the ER&D market it is becoming clear that inorganic expansion must be a strategic option for service providers. Any provider thinking they can build these capabilities organically and scale, is mistaken. Akshat Vaid Mayank Maria Nishant Udupa Ankur Jain Kishore BS Everest Group

As someone deeply invested in AI and technology, I was fascinated by this article on how Generative AI is transforming industries. Here’s my take on it. The article outlines the transformative potential of Generative AI (GenAI) across several industries, highlighting its versatile capabilities and future impact. Here’s a review based on key takeaways: 1. Revolutionizing Programming: GenAI is presented as a tool that can assist developers in writing code, automating repetitive tasks, and enhancing problem-solving through prompt engineering. This is a valuable advancement, as it reduces development time and fosters innovation in software engineering. 2. Content Creation Efficiency: The article notes a significant reduction (up to 60%) in the time it takes for content creation due to automation through GenAI, especially for technical documentation. This efficiency increase could substantially benefit industries dependent on large-scale documentation and guides. 3. Streamlining Contracts: The use of GenAI for summarizing and tagging contracts reduces errors and improves compliance. Automating the drafting and review process can save businesses both time and money, a notable advancement in legal tech. 4. Healthcare and MedTech Integration: GenAI’s integration with voice technology for controlling medical equipment and real-time transcription of procedures could significantly enhance medical precision and reduce the workload of healthcare professionals. 5. Banking & Sales Support: Cognitive AI agents are revolutionizing customer support by providing contextual, personalized responses and seamless hand-offs to human agents. 6. Visual Content Creation & Remote Monitoring: GenAI is making photography more accessible and professional for consumers, while also contributing to safety-critical sectors like remote monitoring and proctoring through advanced computer vision and NLP systems. Overall, the article paints a compelling picture of how GenAI is set to revolutionize multiple sectors, emphasizing its collaborative nature with human creativity to optimize processes, personalize services, and drive efficiency. It also hints at the long-term innovation possibilities, particularly in healthcare, tech, and finance, by leveraging the immense power of large language models (LLMs). The only area where the article could delve deeper is in addressing potential challenges like ethical considerations and biases inherent in AI, which are also important aspects of the technology’s future deployment.
