#GenerativeAI could significantly change how companies operate- 50% of CEOs expect #GenAI to enhance their ability to build #trust with #stakeholders & abt 60% expect it to improve #product or #servicequality- Key #insights from PwC 2024 #CEOSurvey ✅ 45% of global CEOs believed their companies would no longer be viable in ten years’ time if they continued on their current path. ✅ The impetus to reinvent is intensifying. CEOs expect more pressure over the next three years than they experienced over the previous five from #technology, #climatechange and nearly every other megatrend affecting global #business. ✅ CEOs perceive enormous #inefficiencies across a range of their companies’ routine activities—everything from #decisionmaking meetings to emails—viewing roughly 40% of the time spent on these tasks as inefficient costing US$10 trillion tax on #productivity. Generative AI, which about 60% of CEOs expect to create efficiency benefits, could help relieve some routine burdens. ✅ Four in ten CEOs report that they have accepted lower hurdle rates for #climate-friendly #investments than for other investments—in the majority of cases, between one and four percentage points lower. This is clear evidence that some CEOs are willing to make complex trade-offs as they strive to boost the #sustainability of their businesses. ✅ Two-thirds of CEOs report a reallocation of #resources (#financial and #human) of 20% or less year to year. ✅ One in four anticipate reducing #headcount by 5% or more in 2024 due to generative AI ✅ When it comes to generative AI risks, CEOs are most concerned about #cybersecurity #AI #FinTech #RegTech #Bigdata #dataPrivacy #Infosec #Futureofwork #FinServ #Regulation

Reimagining Trust, Connection, and Innovation in a Changing World The Accenture Life Trends 2025 report explores something we’re all feeling: the push and pull between digital transformation and the human need for deeper, more trusted connections. At a time when technology can either empower us or erode trust, the question is—how do we ensure it serves people, families, and businesses responsibly? As I read through the report, certain themes struck a personal chord: 1. Cost of Hesitations (pg. 6): Technology has accelerated opportunity, but it has also blurred lines between real and fake. Deepfakes, misinformation, and generative AI content are forcing all of us to pause, to question, “Is this real?” For businesses, this erosion of trust impacts everything—from customer decisions to brand reputation. At home, it reminds me how important it is to help loved ones navigate an increasingly complex digital world. Trust and responsible governance of AI and data aren’t abstract ideals—they’re necessary to safeguard individuals, families, and society. 2. The Parent Trap (pg. 23): As a parent, I resonate deeply with the challenges this generation faces—balancing safety and opportunity in an era where digital is everywhere. Whether it’s ensuring my kids are protected from harmful content or helping them develop a healthy relationship with technology, it’s clear that businesses, governments, and parents must collaborate to get this right. Technologies like Sovereign Cloud and ethical AI have a crucial role to play here—ensuring data is protected, managed responsibly, and used for good. 3. Social Rewilding (pg. 70): At the heart of it all is connection. The report highlights how people are intentionally stepping back from screens, rediscovering the richness of real-world relationships, and reconnecting with nature, hobbies, and community. Over the past year, I’ve seen this shift firsthand—spending time with family, catching up with friends in person, or enjoying simple moments like a walk outdoors or working in the garden. Technology is vital, but it should amplify these moments, not replace them. These insights remind us that trust, connection, and responsibility must be at the center of our digital future. For businesses, this means prioritizing data protection, embedding responsible AI practices, and fostering experiences that align with what matters most: people. As we navigate 2025 and beyond, let’s focus on technology that builds trust, strengthens communities, and empowers individuals. 📌 Full report: https://lnkd.in/gWaEiKNh #LifeTrends2025 #ResponsibleAI #TrustInTechnology #DataProtection #HumanConnection

From Singapore to Japan, from Thailand to Australia, I’ve had the unique opportunity to take cooking classes in every country I visited. Beyond learning about the heart and soul of each culture, I gained surprising insights into the creative process—remarkably similar to innovation. Both in cooking and innovation, the journey is fueled by curiosity, experimentation and a commitment to continuous learning. ✨ Innovation thrives on curiosity: In both cooking and innovation, asking “what if?” sparks the discovery of new possibilities. ✨ Diverse inputs lead to breakthroughs: Every country has its unique ingredients and techniques, and in the same way, diverse perspectives are crucial for innovation. When different cultures, industries, or disciplines come together, the results are often greater than the sum of their parts. ✨ Experimentation is key: The best chefs are fearless in experimenting, testing new flavors and combinations. Similarly, innovation requires a mindset of trial and error, prototyping ideas and refining them until something truly impactful emerges. ✨ Constraints drive creativity: In cooking, you might need to substitute ingredients or work within time limits, which forces creativity. In innovation, constraints—be they time, resources or regulations—can lead to unexpected breakthroughs. ✨ Iterate, Don’t Settle: Great dishes, like great innovations, rarely happen in one shot. It’s the constant refining, adjusting and improving that leads to something remarkable. Have a great weekend, everyone! #Innovation #Creativity #FoodTrends #CookingAroundTheWorld #TravelAndLearn #InnovationInFood #FoodTech #FutureOfFood #InnovationStrategy

I really like this article from BCG on the stairway to Generative AI impact1. Based on my experience, companies more often than not are staying at the illusionist, theorist, and showman levels and fail to move to the money maker level2. I'm also convinced that building an AI and Generative AI Transformation factory is a way to structurally move to the money maker level faster. Executive Summary: The article discusses how generative AI can help businesses move beyond just increasing productivity, enabling them to reinvent customer experiences, create new services and offerings, and even build new business models3. It emphasizes the importance of moving from theoretical applications to practical, revenue-generating implementations. I also like the simple ways to generate value: Increase revenue, cut costs, and boost productivity.

The time for superficial actions in sustainability is over. Organizations need to shift from mere window dressing and token gestures to substantial and impactful initiatives. The shift from 'want' to 'must' is imminent, driven not just by desire but by impending regulations that will demand compliance. Leaders must recalibrate their focus, extending beyond the boundaries of their own organizations. It's crucial to consider the ripple effects of their actions up and down the supply chain. Understanding the full scope of influence requires a holistic approach, where every connection is acknowledged and accounted for. To truly make a difference and gain a comprehensive insight, contractual provisions are essential. Managing these provisions effectively is key to ensuring that sustainability efforts are not just a checkbox but a fundamental part of the organizational strategy. The call for change is urgent and significant. Yet, it raises the question: why does sustainability still receive limited attention? It's time to prioritize sustainability at every level and embrace the transformative power of truly sustainable practices. Let's do it! #Sustainability #Leadership #ChangeIsNow #Contractmanagement

Responsible AI: The Imperative for Technology Leaders. As we navigate the transformative landscape of artificial intelligence, one principle stands out as non-negotiable - Responsibility. The deployment of AI technologies raises highly sensitive ethical issues, and as technology leaders, we must make certain that our AI efforts are founded on principles of fairness, transparency, and accountability. A few reflections on how we can make responsible AI a priority in our organizations. 1. Establish Clear Ethical Guidelines - The first step toward responsible AI is to develop clear ethical guidelines on data privacy, algorithmic fairness, and transparency in AI decision-making. An institutional framework has been put in place within our Organization that outlines these principles, ensuring that every AI project we undertake is aligned with our ethical standards. 2. Diverse Teams for Diverse Perspectives - One of the most crucial elements in developing responsible AI is having diversity within our teams. Diverse teams bring multiple experiences and perspectives to help uncover potential biases within AI algorithms. Making our development teams more inclusive enables us to better anticipate and address ethical concerns that might arise. 3. Regular Auditing and Monitoring - Responsible AI is not a one-time thing. it is a commitment that needs constant attention. We must implement periodic audits of our AI systems to detect and rectify any bias or ethical conflicts. Real-time monitoring of AI performance ensures the systems make decisions that are both fair and just, adjusting as necessary to maintain our ethics. 4. Stakeholder Engagement - We need to engage various stakeholders, including employees, customers, and the larger community, to understand their questions and expectations regarding AI. Open dialogue builds trust and provides ongoing feedback to inform responsible AI activities. Diverse voices help ensure our AI initiatives align with societal values. 5. Explainability and Transparency - By no means least, there is a need to make our AI systems transparent. Stakeholders must understand how AI systems make decisions, which builds trust and accountability. Clear explanations of AI processes empower users to have confidence in the technologies they interact with, knowing decisions were reached based on sound principles. Responsible AI is more than a regulatory requirement. it is an opportunity to lead with integrity and purpose. By embedding responsible practices in our AI initiatives, we can ensure that our technologies benefit society and foster trust among users. How are you implementing or ensuring responsible AI within your organization? #AI #ResponsibleAI #TechLeadership #Ethics #Innovation #Transparency

Amidst ever-changing business landscapes, business success now hinges on much more than just profit margins and market share. Crafting and maintaining vibrant ecosystems and cultures of empowerment is also very much a part of the equation, no matter what industry you operate in. This applies even more so for platform companies such as Lalamove. The core of our business is the relationship that we have nurtured with those who ply the road to carry out delivery orders - our driver-partners. The diverse schedules, motivations, and commitments that each of them bring to the table means that our approach to managing them requires empathy, flexibility, and open communication in equal doses. Furthermore, their expectations are dynamic, and we need to think of them not as employees, but as partners in collaboration towards a common goal of fostering efficiency within the industry. It is crucial for companies to recognize and acknowledge the dedication and hard work of all on-demand workers. Only then can we better reinforce commitments to collaborative journeys towards success. Thanks very much e27 (Optimatic) for allowing me to share my thoughts on this matter.
