Strategic leadership is about getting the big ideas right! Partnering with e.Republic for market acceleration was one of the big ideas I got right at Socure. Launching the Center for Public Sector AI is one Cathilea Robinett, Dustin Haisler and Teri Takai got right. If you're in or around the government ecosystem, you'll want to follow and engage with the Center for Public Sector AI.

For business leaders, especially at relatively small companies, the idea of applying gen AI to strategic planning is mouthwatering.  This article explores the potential and limits of AI in helping such companies chart their strategies.  Through the lens of two disguised case studies the authors show how gen AI can help companies identify some challenges and opportunities that managers missed, overcoming the human biases, but by the same token missed some possibilities rooted in the company’s specific capabilities. And although gen AI was less able to imagine possible future scenarios because its forecasts were entirely rooted in historical data, clever promoting enabled it to surface issues and questions that human managers ignored.  The authors conclude that knowing gen AI’s weaknesses allows managers to take advantage of its strengths. The key is to view gen AI as a tool that augments, rather than replaces, your strategic thinking and decision-making.

You've probably seen one of the many studies that indicate organizations have quite an optimistic outlook toward #GenerativeAI. Personally, I think #GenAI is likely to bring the biggest disruption to #BusinessOperations in years. It’s going to be an exhilarating journey, but also a challenging one. I've been reading our recent POV detailing how #GenAI could improve productivity and significantly disrupt industries. In it, my colleagues and industry experts Sebastien GUIBERT and Marek Sowa analyze the applications of #GenerativeAI and the potential impact for business process transformation on four key business areas: #HumanResources, #Finance, and #Accounting, #SupplyChain, and also share insights on the selection criteria for an ideal partner. Give it a read and let me know in the comments what your top takeaways were - https://bit.ly/3UVAGww #ConnectedEnterprise

As #AI moves out of the hype phase, leaders should think beyond only bottom line growth, developing strong foundations and holistic strategies that impact the top line as well. My colleague, Traci Gusher, explains more in her latest article for Fast Company:

This essay explores how the world’s focus on competition could be slowing human progress. Instead of each country or company working independently to solve similar challenges, pooling resources through collaboration could lead to faster and more impactful outcomes for humanity. Examples like space exploration and technological innovations illustrate how global partnerships may benefit us all. The essay calls for a shift toward a new age of enlightenment and cooperation, where the most important race we focus on is the human race. https://lnkd.in/gvxGXk3n
