@sallamar @krishnan Is there an actual recording of this presentation? Slides alone are not enough in this case.

I had a nightmare on my BOS>LHR flight. I dreamt that modern tech leaders are just a bunch of dopamine addicted novelty seekers engaged in a reckless race to find new tech to own/evangelize/sell. For the sake of it. Cause life is unbearable otherwise.

Thank god I woke up.

The customers that better understand the business value of technology are the ones that ask the loudest about Frictionless IT.

A fantastic one right in front of me right now.

Can #AI be used to reduce complexity in a systematic way?

A vendor’s business value is in how well it connects data and people. Technology for the sake of it has no business value. https://t.co/O8gxGmTRrZ

Trust the data but don’t accept the data blindly.

You can tell somebody to articulate the business value of technology, not the technology itself, as much as you want. If he/she is not a natural, he/she needs education.

Hiring a few business-oriented people is not effective enough.

A point that doesn’t seem clear yet: #AI is the ONLY force multiplier democratic enough and game changing enough to give even the smallest startup a chance to disrupt a giant competitor.

The dataset is the only weak point. Access to datasets must be protected at all costs.

Strategy: high level plan to achieve n goals under conditions of uncertainty. It typically involves 2 processes: formulation (analyzing situation, making diagnosis, developing guiding policies) & implementation (action plans taken to achieve goals established by guiding policy)

Seeding an idea in the mind of a 10,000 people company is not an easy feat. And it can take years.
