We covered topics such as:  🤖 Live #GenAI use cases that can be adopted by clients now to unlock value, in the context of broader end to end #OperationalExcellence and automation 🏅 The importance of setting up multi-skilled digital teams to harness multiple perspectives, technical expertise and maximise potential benefits when we complete our #RapidCostDiagnostic exercises  🎯 Cutting through the noise - #demystifying technology for leadership teams in order to form a strategic, #IntegratedApproach to #automation, as part of overall #WorkforceOptimisation 💡 How to #disrupt the traditional automation #DeliveryModel to deliver more effective outcomes, faster - whilst spotting where wider value levers are better placed to help improve business performance and productivity An action packed couple of days but grateful the team were still able to give us a taste of the local culture in Krakow - what a city⚡. We'll be back for sure and saving room for more #dumplings… 🥟 🥟 🥟 If any of my network would be interested in learning more about how we’re approaching automation in our #ValueCreationandRealisation team at #PwC, feel free to reach out for a chat.

What is the Future of the Chief Digital Officer? Adapt, Disrupt, Transform, or Disappear? When I graduated in Industrial Design 20 years ago, the business world was simple, controllable, predictable, slow, and stable. The existence of a Chief Digital Officer in companies was unimaginable. Only between 2010 and 2015, about 10 years later, did this role begin to take shape in companies, and I had the privilege of leading several digital transformation efforts. Many believed this position would be temporary, as the future seemed destined to be entirely digital. PwC even conducted a study on the topic titled "Adapt, Disrupt, Transform & Disappear." And for you? What is the Future of the Chief Digital Officer? → If you're interested in how relevant this study still is eight years later, simply comment here, and I'll be happy to share it with you.
