U.S. #manufacturing is on the rise for the first time since 2022, driven by advancements in #GenAI. But while 91.3% of organizations plan to leverage GenAI, many lack the knowledge for effective implementation. Integrating GenAI can optimize #supplychains, enhance quality control, predict maintenance needs, and boost efficiency, addressing high input costs and supply uncertainties. Sustained growth depends on practical application, ensuring competitiveness in a rapidly evolving industry. Read more about leveraging GenAI for growth in my recent article with @Industry Today Media: Can Manufacturers Use GenAI to Leverage Growth?

Sharing the recording of a session with the KPMG UK Board Leadership Centre hosted by KPMG UK Chair Bina Mehta and Timothy Copnell. The discussion can be accessed here: https://lnkd.in/erb5WNpW Centred around my book, The Global Trade Paradigm (HarperCollins, 2023), the discussion was timely. Bina Mehta highlighted how geopolitics has become an important topic of her conversations with business leaders; she noted the KPMG CEO Survey lists geopolitics as a top concern for CEOs around the world.   What specific steps should boards and senior leadership take to address the implications of geopolitics on their corporations and stakeholders? Some suggestions:   1.   Establish mechanisms to get sharp insights into the dynamics of geopolitics that affect their companies. This may include working with think tanks that understand relevant regions and countries as well as functional domains (supply chains, cyber security, sustainability would be examples.)   2.   Engage with governments in ways that are effective and appropriate. Public affairs functions need to be staffed with the right competencies and must work closely with firm leadership.   3.   Monitor investment postures in key geographies, exposures in crisis zones, and resilience of supply chains.   4.   Add geopolitical expertise to boards or establish an advisory committee for the purpose.   In the broad ranging discussion with the BLC, I noted the pause, if not a reversal, that we see today of the decades-long secular trend the world experienced towards globalization and integration. A transformative change of the last three decades has been the rise of global value chains driven by various factors including the advance of technology as well as of logistics and infrastructure – underpinned by the imperatives of comparative advantage.      These global supply chains make the world vulnerable to disruptions. Present day examples include those arising from Ukraine, the Israel Gaza situation, the tensions in the Middle East, and the China-Taiwan dynamic. Additionally, the trade landscape must today contend with the ongoing US- China discord and global concerns about China’s ambitions. With 25% of global manufacturing being in China, that country is critical to almost every supply chain. The situation creates an imperative for alternative -- or additional -- nodes in global supply chains, supplanting or supplementing China. This in turn creates opportunities for locations ranging from Mexico to India.

As artificial intelligence applications proliferate within banking, the ability to track, analyze, and anticipate consumer behavior has soared to unprecedented heights. However, this trend raises profound questions regarding privacy, autonomy, and human rights. The banking sector finds itself uniquely vulnerable to privacy breaches, necessitating a delicate equilibrium between innovation and the protection of individual liberties. As the BFSI sector moves towards personalized financial services, it is vital to ensure the protection of financial information.

Thanks for sharing David Miller. Excellent insight within the article. I teased the summarized challenges below. The solution is within the article link. Three core factors cause those symptoms:    Most initiatives are run as technology projects.   -Journey starts as a data science initiative or carries a technical name such as predictive analytics project.   -Weak link to business users, the project may not address the most significant problems — or real challenges.    Users resist changes to ways of working.   -Most humans are wired to seek comfort in the familiar.   -This inertia can be dangerous for analytics initiatives, which almost always involve changes to business processes or decision-making methods. This change resistance is amplified by fear of AI-driven job loss, an emotion that runs high today.    It’s difficult to demonstrate analytics ROI.   -Tough to attribute business outcomes to analytics efforts.   -The inability to quantify ROI can push data initiatives into a downward spiral, with project leaders squandering momentum and losing funding
