InsideDT: The Inside Digital Transformation Podcast

In this episode, I’m speaking with François Candelon, Global Director of the Boston Consulting Group’s Henderson Institute about how organizations can adopt generative ai, where to use it and what to expect when they do. AI is everywhere today but it is mainly used to carry out a very narrow set of tasks. Gen AI is different. It is interactive, can be programmed using the human voice and can be used -- without modification -- to create competitive advantage. We are in a moment of creative destruction.

In this episode, I’m speaking with Dan Diasio, EY’s global AI consulting leader, about how to overcome the trust issue that has take over the AI conversation. Until ChatGPT hit the scene in Nov. of 2022, AI wasn’t something most people realized was hard at work sifting through their data, providing voice assistants on their phones, or helping businesspeople make critical decisions that affected their daily lives.  Today all that has changed. And people are afraid.

Today, I’m speaking with Scott Mager, chief marketing officer for Deloitte U.S. about the impact Gen AI is having and will have on marketing.

The use of this powerful technology is just getting started so tune in to understand where we are and where we about to go.

In today’s episode I’m talking with Joseph Lo, Head of Enterprise Platforms at Broadridge, about how today’s AI, that is based on foundation and large language models, differs from the point-solution AI that is embedded in so many business systems today. Today, we can interact with a machine in a way that is almost human. What started out as a very interesting parlor trick in ChatGPT is about to transform how and where AI can and will be used in the very near future.

In this episode, I’m speaking with Rajat Kohli, a partner in the digital transformation consulting practice of Zinnov, about the impact emerging technologies such as AI and cloud will drive growth and profits at SMBs, not just by automating more processes and cutting costs but by freeing up the strategic brain power of its employees.

In this episode, I'm speaking with Amaresh Tripathy, Genpact's strategic advisor for Data and Analytics, about the central role that data plays in digital transformation today.
