In today’s episode of The Difference Engine, Paul Maher and I peer down our microscope to discover the unintended consequences for Category success – or lack of it - of thinking small. We also look at and learn how the arrival of commercial AI is changing the design of every Category blueprint. We take some lessons from tech history - and Microsoft and Nokia - about what happens when tech M&A collides Categories in an attempt at innovation. Finally, we consider whether electric vehicles are just an upgrade to internal combustion engine vehicles or have the features of a brand-new Category. It’s all about the ecosystem.

We recently wrote this article, summarised in a few slides below with link to full article. The long story short - look beyond the hype, and commit to solving your biggest transformation challenges, the solutions to which may well have been unlocked through the application of #genAI capabilities and solutions. Let me know what you think - am I adding to the hype, or is this a helpful contribution to the conversation? Thanks to Paul Henninger Mark Shank Sanjay Doshi for co-writing. Banks are keen to understand how #genAI can help their businesses. The secret is to look past the use cases and focus on #transformation. Read the latest article Unleashing potential: Exploring generative AI’s role in banking in KPMG’s Frontiers in Finance magazine. In the article we discuss what you should know, three tips to get you started and how KPMG can help. https://lnkd.in/da6vKb_b

Some great reflections and insights from my colleague Paul Greenan on how leading banks are thinking about driving value from GenAI. It's clearly still early days - but with more than three-in-ten leaders say it has likely increased their profitability or performance by 11 percent or more, the opportunities are already emerging. The key messages are: - Look beyond the hype - focus on your biggest transformation challenges - Don't underestimate the data challenge - breaking down legacy siloes and ensuring DQ will be critical to generating full value. - Think about the adjacencies - what other technologies, when combined with GenAI, can drive game-changing productivity?

Corporate-backed B2B start-ups and spin-offs can increasingly represent shrewd investments – and this interview shows why.  It features the leaders of venture capital firm Ninepointfive and manufacturing ‘matchmaker’ MakerVerse – backed by Ninepointfive at both seed- and Series A-funding stages. The crux is that both sides win through their relationship. MakerVerse’s AI-based product is innovative and well-timed, making it an attractive investment. The expertise of its corporate backers helped it develop at market-beating speed. And the results in terms of increased customer numbers and higher values benefit both parties.  Thanks to Leap by McKinsey Digital for this piece, which breaks down the hallmarks of opportunities with similar investment potential.  #LeapbyMcKinsey #McKinseyGMS #LeapYear2024 #B2B #Growth
