Every day's a school day. I was fortunate to be invited to spend the afternoon at Dell Technologies Forum "AI Edition" last week. Whilst all the speakers and panelists were excellent and covered important and entertaining themes, it was John Roese who really landed the most powerful points for me. After describing how he and his team had tackled AI transformation on a sub set of the hundreds of use cases in Dell's business, he went on the summarise five requisites for a successful AI factory within an enterprise. I only wish I had written them down, assuming I could catch them later in a video if I went hunting for it. Fortunately the tenacious marketing team at Dell landed the video my inbox today, Otter.ai watched it whilst I worked on some personas and hey presto, here's the five. 1. A standardised, rule-based chatbot 2. A coding assistant 3. A content engine 4. An agentic framework(for distributed AI processing) 5. A fine-tuning infrastructure Roese explained that by implementing these five capabilities, organisations can deploy and scale various AI projects more efficiently, rather than building bespoke solutions for each use case. He didn't suggest that it's been easy to implement Dell's AI factory; it did sound possible and pragmatic. Watch the whole thing - or from 14 minutes. https://lnkd.in/e2pGmG48

Do you realise quite how much the C-suite rely on gut feeling? We interviewed 200 UK-based business leaders and C-suite executives and found many great insights, here's a few examples: - 86% of UK business leaders must make decisions “faster than ever before” - 57% have less time to make important decisions - Nine out of ten (90%) say they must now make decisions “in real time” - Faced with quick-fire decision making, many leaders don’t have time to analyse the data provided, instead turning to intuition and ‘gut feel’. - Three in five business leaders (61%) frequently make ‘snap decisions’ without reviewing the available data - More than half (58%) say they rely on gut feel to make important business decisions because it’s too difficult to access insights in real time.
