Here we go.
We're midweek in Davos, and as expected, the theme of the week
so far has been AI.
It is super exciting.
When I step back and think through all the panels and the
conversations, a number of the conversations stay at a pretty
high level.
The spiciest conversations that I've had over the last couple of
days
were around architecture, architecture, architecture. And
there are two flavors of it.
The first one is around the business operating model.
How do we find new jobs to actually do these things?
If one person needs to review the agents and the performance
of the agents, how do we even describe that job description
and how do we even recruit those folks?
How do we get them in?
Once they're in, how do we put the operating model in place so
that we are truly AI-first company? Who has
responsibilities to reshape the workflow?
Is it the tech team or is it the business team? And struggling
through the operating model is the big first questions where we
had the most interesting conversations.
The second one is around the tech architecture.
The companies that have leaned in have experienced roadblocks
in deploying the tech as is from the vendors.
So they're now stepping back and saying: If I'm to design this
bottoms up to really be AI-first company, how would I do it
differently?
And they're having fascinating conversations with the tech
vendors in rethinking the tech architecture.
So this is a little bit of a sneak peek on the conversations
this week.
So stay tuned for more updates.
