EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INSIGHTS & INNOVATION OUTLOOK
What has your CEO said about AI? What has your CEO done about AI? What is the messaging from other C-Suite leaders? How far behind is your organization’s mindset? • If you’re weeping right now, It seems that your job this year is to find whatever ways you can to simply demonstrate the necessity of collective intelligence so that the organization’s mindset can actually evolve. • If you’re simply queasy, you might have C-Suite buy-in but not a clear plan of action. It seems your job this year is to identify and execute edge use cases to provide some context for a plan to be conceived • If you’re feeling bad for the two above, your organization has not only spoken about AI, but instituted a plan. And you are working on that plan from your seat, in your role. It seems your job this year is to lean in to your use cases and begin to scale where it can most benefit current organizational goals • If you stopped reading because this is too basic of a conversation for you, you’re an outlier. Congratulations. It seems your job this year is to keep making the rest of us look basic This is the year folks. We’ve said it before. Shoot, they were saying it in the 70’s. But software on top of appropriate compute had to arrive. And in late 2022 OpenAI’s ChatGPT democratized artificial intelligence. In many ways, many of us are still at that moment. But 2024 is when we go from the democratization of a tool to operationalization of that tool. Let’s roll.
THE JOURNEY FROM AI OUTSIDER TO AI OUTLIER Happy 2024. As we plod further through our new reality of Forever Disruption, this is the year that global corporate enterprise allows Artificial Intelligence to tap into central nervous systems on the journey to Collective Intelligence. As with Boomers, Gen Z, Millennials and now, Gen Z, the ways we work evolve when new intelligence enters the paradigm. How is your organization welcoming this new generation of Artificial Intelligence? With a sizable chunk of the Global Forbes 2000 still not allowing LLMs into their walls- often for solid privacy and/or regulatory compliance reasons- there is a sizable chunk of you who are nowhere close to the operationalization of AI. That said, a sizable chunk of the information economy is experimenting and might be benefiting from use cases of AI running at the edges. Others have actual use cases more towards the core of the organization. And some- outliers at this point, are winning through AI coursing through veins of most aspects of their offering. Those are the players on the quest from Outsider to Outlier in 2024. The outsiders are those at the beginning. The outliers are the precious few who are doing what we all imagine can be done…and beyond. So here at the outset of 2024, which one of the players above are you? The law of averages dictates that you’re likely not an outlier. And that means you’ve got a lot to do this year.
