These are my first impressions from Davos 2024 around AI
1 - AI and GenAI is everywhere from LLMs to oil/gas to supply chains
2 - countries and companies taking risks will outperform those that are cautious
3 - Companies struggle to go beyond experimentation due to lack of prebuilt use cases and industry solutions by providers
4 - Trust is main concern. Who do you trust to hold your data? LLM providers? Hyperscalers...
I can't believe it's already been almost a year since game-changing AI like DALL-E and ChatGPT burst onto the tech scene. Even though many AI tools have been around much longer, GPT is what captured the magination of of all us. The energy and hype reminds me so much of the early blockchain and crypto days 10 years ago. The buzz, the startups, the dreams of getting rich quick. But looking back, blockchain didn't reall...
So here we go again. Inflation, recession and uncertainty. While these things happen every decade or so, noone likes a downturn. The last short downturn in 2020 actually accelerated digital transformation, investments and value creation. It can happen again if companies use the right digital playbooks.
I got into technology value creation exactly 19 years ago. I still remember how it happened. I read an article in the Harvard Business Review that made me question everything I was doing as a software executive. It was an article by Nick Carr, titled “IT doesn’t matter”.
The article claimed that technology added no value. Or specifically, technology didn’t create any strategic advantage. Why? Because technology was everywhere, ...
In the last few weeks, I was back on the planes meeting with clients and investors in London, New York, and San Francisco. We often talked about how the role of digital is changing for businesses and investors. How the early digital experimentations have all grown up, real value is created now and many companies are becoming digitally reborn.
But not all.
Some struggled to take advantage of the digital revolution during ...
If you Google the difference between efficiency and effectiveness you will find over 1.4 billion hits. There are endless opinions from accountants, business strategists, linguistics, and even psychologists on the topic. Clearly, there is confusion out there and my short video won’t clear it up. Instead of deciding on the debate, let me share a story on how a customer of mine uses these terms to create value for their business.
The ultimate success in business is to be considered a value creator. Whether you and I are employees, executives, consultants or vendors we should think about the 5 ways we can add value to the business.
- Growth
- Simplicity
- Speed
- New Business Model
- Thinking Big
For the last 20 years there has been one big debate around technology innovation. Should you be a first mover or a fast follower? First movers would take on higher risk experiments expecting higher returns, but also tolerating higher rates of failure.
Fast followers, on the other hand, would wait for the kinks to be worked out or the market to be validated before investing. So which strategy is better?
I was thinking about the most relevant trends for 2022. Almost everything we know about digital has changed and morphed in the last two years. So I looked at what my peers were predicting about the future. I counted over 500 different trends and predictions and it was hard to find a common theme that resonated with me. In the end, I narrowed them down to 5 major trends that I knew my customers were often talking about. So here is m...
Welcome to 2022. What a year we have had! While it represented a crisis on many fronts, it also created once in a generation across digital from automation to digital supply chains to new digital customer experiences to blockchain and crypto literally everywhere.

The majority of the companies nowadays are in some stage of digital transformation. Some are very tactical, improving their website and app maybe or automating basic customer interactions.
