<v ->My name is Sesh Iyer.</v>

2
00:00:02.100 --> 00:00:04.020
I've been at BCG for the last 15 years,

3
00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:08.190
and currently a North America chair for BCGX,

4
00:00:08.190 --> 00:00:11.490
which is our design and build business in BCG.

5
00:00:11.490 --> 00:00:13.710
Peter Drucker said, "If you want to really predict

6
00:00:13.710 --> 00:00:15.810
the future, don't predict it, create it,"

7
00:00:15.810 --> 00:00:18.300
and I think that's why I'm at BCG.

8
00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:20.580
We unlock the potential of those who advance the world.

9
00:00:20.580 --> 00:00:23.100
So how do you really bring the consulting position

10
00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:25.200
and the tech firepower together?

11
00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:26.880
That's what we did in BCGX.

12
00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:29.340
What started as systems architecture moved

13
00:00:29.340 --> 00:00:31.740
to transformational architecture,

14
00:00:31.740 --> 00:00:33.060
and that's what we are doing today, which is

15
00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:36.180
how do you really bring together business, how you enable it

16
00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:39.030
with tech, how you actually bring new age emerging solutions

17
00:00:39.030 --> 00:00:40.680
like AI and genAI.

18
00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:43.500
What clients are now asking for are outcomes.

19
00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:45.150
How do you actually deliver to the top line?

20
00:00:45.150 --> 00:00:47.340
How do you actually change employee productivity?

21
00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:49.890
How do you really change the customer experience?

22
00:00:49.890 --> 00:00:52.590
It's about user adoption, it's about the domain knowledge.

23
00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:55.320
It's about workflows, it's about change management.

24
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:58.650
I truly believe that leadership is a combination

25
00:00:58.650 --> 00:01:00.720
of steel and the soul.

26
00:01:00.720 --> 00:01:02.400
So you have to bring the two together

27
00:01:02.400 --> 00:01:04.170
to really make magic happen

28
00:01:04.170 --> 00:01:06.030
and to have an agenda as a leader

29
00:01:06.030 --> 00:01:09.300
and to really deliver what it takes to get a group of people

30
00:01:09.300 --> 00:01:10.233
to the other side.
