    Enterprise AI: Strategies for High-Impact Opportunities

    An Enterprise AI Strategy Perspective on Identifying High-Impact Opportunities AI has moved from experimentation to expectation. Boards ask about it. CEOs want outcomes. Every function has a list of ideas. Most enterprise AI strategies stall for another reason. It’s not because the technology isn’t ready.

    Transforming Product Design: From Creation to Curation

    The Mindset Shift: How Leading AI Experiments Differs from Traditional Innovation

    The Mindset Shift: How Leading AI Experiments Differs from Traditional Innovation

    Innovation has always required curiosity, creativity, and courage. But AI innovation demands something more: a fundamental mindset shift. Traditional experiments follow a predictable path: define a hypothesis, build a prototype, test it, and iterate. AI shatters this model. Its probabilistic nature and deep dependence on data require a new playbook—one that blends technical fluency with ethical foresight and Continue reading
