Hey, you got AI in my business....

....and, you got business in my AI

Transforming businesses to leverage the unique capabilities of generative AI requires that Business and AI fully mix, creating something much better. Generative AI and business processes are like two distinct, yet complementary flavors—think of the iconic combination of chocolate and peanut butter in a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Just as those flavors blend to create something better, integrating AI with business expertise results in transformative outcomes that neither could achieve alone.

AI leaders bring a new cutting-edge technology and innovation to the table. They can use Generative AI to transform complex documents and data into insights and actions that enable new ways of working for efficiency and speed. However, without a deep understanding of the nuances of existing business processes, customer relationships, and industry-specific challenges, these innovations don't deliver real outcomes.

Conversely, business leaders possess critical knowledge about their industry, customer needs, the meaning in their data, and the strategic nuances that drive financial and operational success. Yet, without a solid grasp of AI's potential and limitations, they will miss out on opportunities to revolutionize their business models and service delivery.

The magic happens when AI leaders and business executives collaborate:

1. Shared Vision: Aligning on a shared vision for an AI-native reimagining of work ensures that technological solutions are developed with clear business objectives in mind.
2. Cross-functional Teams: Encouraging teams to work cross-functionally fosters an environment where business insights inform AI development and vice versa.
3. Continuous Learning: As AI evolves, so should the business strategies that leverage it. Regularly revisiting goals and approaches as Generative AI continues to improve ensures that both AI and business strategies remain cutting-edge.

I encourage all business leaders to reach out to your AI counterparts. And to the tech innovators, make the first move to understand the core of the business side. Together, you can create something as perfect as peanut butter and chocolate coming together—where transformation is enabled by the growing capabilities of Generative AI to create competitive advantage.

The future of business is transformed with Generative AI!
