EXCITING NEWS!!! Coming September 2024: "The Insight Age: Moving from Overwhelming Information to Empowering Insights" Joel Neeb and I are excited to announce the upcoming release of our book. We're confident it will benefit everyone in our network. Remember the beginning of The Information Age? It was incredible to have universal access to information around the world. The same data available at Harvard Medical School was suddenly accessible on your phone as you walked through a city on the opposite side of the world. Now, we stand on the precipice of an even more disruptive era: The Insight Age. In the Insight Age, IDEAS will be commoditized, just as information was before. Having access to brilliant ideas will no longer be a strategic advantage, as AI will make the same ideas accessible to every organization. History has shown us that during radically disruptive periods like this, brand strength alone won't shield even the biggest organizations from disruption. Just as many companies like Blockbuster Video, Sears, and Kodak missed finding success in the Information Age, companies that have not prepared for the Insight Age will be left behind in this next chapter. So, how do you prepare? Your organization must become an Insight Factory, generating insights about your customers, strategy, and internal operations – everything. This requires a thorough transformation of culture, operating model, and data systems to ensure the right INPUTS for AI and the strategic agility to turn insights into action. Joel and I have a decade of experience leading organizational transformations in tech. Most recently, overhauling the operating model of a huge software company. We're excited to share our best practices through "The Insight Age." Stay tuned for another big announcement coming soon. In the meantime, follow us for snippets of the book and tactics you can use now to prepare for this significant period in human history.

BCG has surveyed 150 senior executives globally across 10 sectors and has discovered that of the 10%, a full two-thirds hail from industries like energy, insurance, and biopharma.

Interesting though unsurprising finding from Bain survey on GenAI implementations thus far at large companies: primarily focused on incremental optimizations, which makes sense! Even what Bain characterizes as "growth" is likely dominated by incremental GenAI additions to current products, rather than truly "transformative" applications.
