In Microsoft's Q3 FY2024 earnings report, CEO Satya Nadella highlighted the maturing market for AI (Artificial Intelligence), noting increased involvement by SI (Systems Integrators) in deploying AI models across various business processes. Nadella emphasized the growing maturity of AI technology, underlining its increasing importance and sophistication across diverse industry domains. This recognition underscores Microsoft's commitment to leveraging AI capabilities for innovation and meeting evolving customer needs as the technology continues to mature. Nadella remarked, "Think of it as we're creating GitHub Copilot-like scenarios for every business system." Microsoft’s goal is to bridge AI across domains by prioritizing partnerships and fostering interoperability with key vendors like ServiceNow, SAP, and Salesforce. CEO Satya Nadella highlighted this strategy, envisioning a Copilot that serves as both an orchestrator and an aggregator of various AI capabilities from these partners. This approach allows Microsoft to create a unified ecosystem where different AI tools and platforms integrate and extend each other's functionalities, ultimately enhancing the overall AI experience for users across diverse business systems and domains. This is an intriguing concept, as it envisions an orchestrated AI landscape that spans across business processes and knowledge domains, bringing together disparate systems and capabilities into a cohesive and interconnected ecosystem. The benefit lies in the potential for increased efficiency, agility, and innovation as disparate systems and capabilities are integrated using AI, allowing for smoother operations, enhanced collaboration, and more effective decision-making across various business functions and domains. #artificialintelligence #technology #innovation #ChatGPT Microsoft https://lnkd.in/dh4YGGvh

Cisco just laid off 7% of its workforce (4,000 people) while reporting a $10.3 billion profit. At COREnology, we talk a lot about values. Decisions like this make me wonder what the actual values are at the executive level of this company. The Cisco website has a list of several "guiding principles." Do you think this decision aligns with those principles? 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 "Show that desire to be at your best, connect with others..." 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 "Be worthy of trust. Be an inspiration. Be delightful to everyone. Even if you don’t like them..." 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐠𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟𝐟 "Have the debate and have a backbone..." 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 "Check the data but don’t let that slow down taking responsibility..." 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 "We become bigger as individuals and more powerful as a collective when we respect and value what makes us so special..." 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 "Whatever your position, show leadership and courage... Together we can figure out how to get there so let’s dream big..." When a company (or a person) doesn't act in accordance with their values, they lose trust, credibility, their good reputation, cohesion, and so much more... If you abandon your core values when things get hard, they weren't really your core values—they were just marketing. Core Values are what you rely on the most when things get tough to lead you through the darkness. #CoreValues https://lnkd.in/gPfv2B-d
