📢#antifragility I fully share Josh Miramant views on the importance of antifragility, as expressed in his Forbes article. Antifragility, a concept introduced by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, is essential for the growth of tech companies. This quality enables companies to improve and thrive under stress and uncertainty through continuous experimentation, learning from mistakes, and adopting flexible structures. I believe these strategies not only help companies survive crises but also make them stronger and more innovative in the long run​. https://lnkd.in/dmVR4x8u

I'm happy to share that I have completed the Agile Strategy Execution Programme. This was the last elective on my INSEAD Executive Education Chief Strategy Officer course. Huge thanks to Sam Friedman, for running very engaging and thoughtful calls, and to the expert guidance of Daniel Simonovich and Dr Timea M. Havar-Simonovich. Thanks to my course mates, I learnt a lot from your insights and perspectives. This course has been transformational as it provides clear frameworks and applicable insight to comprehend the multidisciplinary challenge of strategy execution - to name a few:  - Strategy: a clear, compelling vision that everyone understands and can rally around, dissecting the strategies into clear, actionable steps - Project Mgmt: how to prioritise and manage initiatives that aim at the strategic objectives - Operations mgmt.: how to evolve and align operating models, processes, roles and responsibilities - Measures and controls: how to define the right KPIs and how these metrics actually tell the story of the journey towards the strategic goals - Leadership: communicating the vision, handling emotions, embracing change - Culture: aligning the organisation and the values - Politics: navigating the political landscape to build support and anticipate resistance - Change mgmt.: assessing the depth and breadth, choosing the right change leader (orchestrator) and crafting effective communication plans Great frameworks like DICE and its linkage to Agile Methodology, the traditional value of the Balanced Score Card as well as the value of leading and lagging KPIs and its correlation to agile planning cycles and the use of OKRs to capture progress and enabling response to change. Extremely valuable learning experience ! #INSEAD, #CSO, #Agile, #Strategy

Hypersuasion – On AI’s persuasive power and how to deal with it Philosophy & Technology Luciano Floridi Abstract The evolution of persuasive technologies (PT) has reached a new frontier with the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This article explores AI’s power of hyper persuasion (hypersuasion)—the intensive and transformative power of AI to influence beliefs and behaviours through personalized, data-driven strategies. By processing vast amounts of data and tailoring content to individual susceptibilities, AI significantly enhances the capabilities of PT. The ethical implications of AI’s hypersuasion are examined, considering its potential to empower persuaders, strengthen messages and goals, and disempower the persuadable. While the misuse of AI’s persuasive power by malicious actors poses significant risks, the article suggests four complementary strategies to mitigate negative consequences: protecting privacy to reinforce autonomy, fostering pluralistic competition among persuaders, ensuring accountability through regulation and alignment with human values, and promoting digital literacy and public engagement. By proactively addressing the challenges of AI’s hypersuasion, its power can be harnessed to support better decisions and behaviours while safeguarding individual autonomy and fostering a sustainable and preferable society. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dhQb2VPC #machinelearning

Two years ago, I embarked on a transformational journey, driven by a lifelong passion for technology and innovation. When I had the chance to learn from MIT, the top innovation school, I seized it! I had the privilege of working with cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary teams, all competing to create the next big thing in innovation. We went through the entire process—from ideation and market analysis to business modeling, financials and pitching. One idea we pursued was a home-based cancer screening device for high-risk patients. While the concept thrived in the U.S. (this same idea recently earned MIT startup recognition and major funding), the regulatory challenges in Europe (particularly Norway) halted our progress. All our efforts towards the authorities were met by the shut doors, unanswered emails and phone calls. Unfortunately, this highlights how Europe may miss out on fostering innovation due to restrictive systems. This was a big disappointment and marked the end of our project. Halfway through the innovation bootcamp, we had to pivot, starting again with a new idea—this time in the market for parking. We chose to focus on market research in India, and it went marvelously. Though it was challenging to go through the same process all over again—quicker and much more intense to meet the deadline — the idea brought reward, recognition and ultimately victory in the competition. This experience taught me invaluable lessons, which I would love to share: 1️. Innovation is for Everyone: You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to innovate. 2. Never Give Up: If one path doesn't work, explore other markets or ideas. 3. Innovation is a Process: It’s not a “light bulb moment.” You work at it, like any other discipline. To those on similar journeys—keep going, stay adaptable and trust the process! #Innovation #Technology #Startups #Persistence #MITBootcamp #InnovationLeadership

#TheGiftOfCompassion: #ALaborDayReflection #HappyLaborDay❤️ TEAM, as we commemorate Labor Day, a day dedicated to the achievements & contributions of all workers, let's also reflect on the values that unite us as a community & a workforce. Wanted to share below heartwarming clip that beautifully encapsulates the spirit of #empathy & #generosity, which I believe are the cornerstones of any #ThrivingSociety. In this video we see #GenuineHumanEmotions in action, a simple yet profound act of kindness unfolds between two children from vastly different walks of life. A well-off boy accidentally loses one of his shoes on a train platform, and a poor boy, despite his humble circumstances, makes a valiant effort to return the lost item to owner. As the train pulls away, the rich boy, recognizing the futility of keeping just one shoe, tosses his remaining shoe to the boot polisher so that he may have a complete pair to wear. This poignant moment serves as a powerful reminder that our true wealth lies not in material possessions but in our capacity to care for one another. It's a call to action for all of us, especially on Labor Day, to look beyond our differences and extend a helping hand to those in need. Whether it's through #mentorship, #volunteering, or simply a kind gesture, every #ActOfCompassion helps weave the fabric of a supportive & #InclusiveCommunity. As leaders, professionals, & workers, let's carry this message of unity & empathy into our workplaces & beyond. Let's celebrate Labor Day by honoring not just our labor but the human spirit that drives us to be better, do better, & uplift one another. #HappyMay1❤️

"Culture eats strategy for breakfast," as Peter Drucker said, reminds me that people and values drive success more than plans alone. While the P&L and Balance Sheet capture our past, the future depends on strategy. Alejandro Salazar’s concept of emergent strategy takes this further: strategy is a living process, shaped by how people engage and evolve within the organization (the culture). In this way, culture isn’t just reflected in the numbers—it shapes them, creating a foundation for sustainable growth that goes beyond quarterly results. How can a leader cultivate an organizational culture that not only supports strategy but also allows it to evolve organically through the insights and contributions of their team?

Stay on the Problem In the rapidly evolving field of software sales, mainly when proposing Microsoft solutions, it's crucial to anchor our strategies in the solutions we offer and in the deep understanding of the problems we aim to solve. This concept, brilliantly articulated in Uri Levine's "Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution," is a pivotal guide for us in the tech industry. Firstly, identifying and falling in love with the problem ensures that we're not just pushing products but are genuinely invested in solving meaningful challenges our customers face. This approach shifts our perspective from a sales-first to a solution-first strategy, where the emphasis is placed on understanding the nuances of the issues at hand. This leads to better customer relationships and aligns our offerings with their needs. In the context of selling Microsoft tech, this means engaging deeply with the customer to uncover the layers of their operational challenges rather than leading with the capabilities of Azure, Power Platform, or M365. By staying on the problem longer, we foster a consultative relationship where our role transcends that of a vendor to become a trusted advisor. Moreover, this methodology helps customize effective, scalable, and future-proof solutions. It prevents the common pitfall of overselling or misaligning the technology with the business goals, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty. To implement this approach effectively, consider these five key strategies: 1. Deep Listening and Engagement: Initiate conversations by listening more than talking. Understand the client's business environment, challenges, and pain points without presupposing solutions. 2. Implement the Double Diamond Approach: Focus initially on the First Diamond, which emphasizes understanding the problem through a broad and open exploration of the client's challenges. Before jumping to solutions, ensure a comprehensive grasp of the issues at hand, leveraging divergent thinking to explore all aspects of the problem entirely. This sets a solid foundation for the Second Diamond, where the focus shifts to convergent thinking and crafting practical solutions. 3. Educate and Inform: Use your expertise in Microsoft solutions to educate customers about potential issues they may have yet to consider, positioning yourself as a thought leader.

🌟 Celebrating #International #Girls in #ICT #Day 2024! As a leader in the #FutureOfWork field, I'm proud to join the global movement recognizing the importance of empowering young women in #STEM careers. This year's theme, #Leadership, couldn't be more timely or relevant. Despite significant steps, the gender gap in STEM leadership persists, with women still underrepresented in critical fields like #SoftwareDevelopment, #engineering, and #technology research. As we continue to #upskill & #reskill our people to make them future-fit, it's essential to address these gaps head-on. At #Siemens #GBS, we're committed to fostering a culture of #inclusivity and #empowerment. We recognize that #diversity drives #innovation, and we're dedicated to providing opportunities for girls and young women to excel in ICT-related fields. For example, within the scope of the Siemens #EmpowerHER program, a team with mentors from Siemens GBS aims to empower young female participants of the #AfricanGirlsCanCode initiative in the #information, #communication and technology, #education, and #coding sectors. To know more about this, check out our GBS article 👇  And, thanks to our colleague Petra Čapáková, for these great insights. Together, we can create a world where every voice is heard, every dream is within reach, and every opportunity is embraced 💪👩‍💻✨  #GirlsInICT #STEMLeadership #DiversityAndInclusion https://lnkd.in/dyTK3D53

I have to admit that I often found myself sitting in front of a blank piece of paper - or screen, really. I also spent a lot of time fine-tuning messages to my team, clients, etc. Copilot has really helped me to be more efficient and clear in my writing. It has also helped me find new things better and faster. I feel like I am still learning by doing and that is a journey worth taking! #AI #Copilot
