What an incredible week in Prague! I had the chance to dive into some fascinating discussions with our Team at PwC's EMEA Tax, Legal and People Knowledge Management Event centered around the role of #AI on our business. Here are my key takeaways: 📌 Putting Knowledge First: To truly integrate AI into your business operations, it’s not just about the data—it’s about making knowledge the heartbeat of your tech. 📌Breaking Down Barriers with AI: AI has the power to bridge gaps across regions, positions, and skill levels, bringing teams closer together than ever before. 📌The Challenge of Knowledge Systems: Setting up a solid knowledge management framework is crucial, though it comes with its fair share of hurdles which are even beyond compliance issues to navigating risk. I’m deeply grateful for the chance to connect with so many inspiring colleagues and thought leaders at the event. It’s been a week of forging new paths, much like the tranquil road along the river, leading us toward a future where technology amplifies the best of what we can be... #humanled #techpowered.

In today's digitalized world, the recent Deloitte report "Bridging the Data-Sharing Chasm" sheds light on a critical challenge: How can we effectively and securely share data across various sectors and geographical boundaries?  Key Insights: 💡 The current state, where only 35% of city government executives engage in cross-jurisdictional data sharing, underscores a significant opportunity to expand geographical collaboration. 💡 Regions like the Asia Pacific and Africa are poised to leap from current levels of data accessibility (29% and 14%, respectively) to becoming leaders in the next five years (60% and 62%). 💡 With nearly half (45%) of city governments collaborating with businesses to gather data, the potential for enriched public-private data partnerships is extensive. How do both enterprises and governments stay ahead of the game with these insights? The way forward is through developing their own data ecosystems in a privacy-preserving way. ⭐  Data sharing can then be facilitated within and further nuanced with first-in-market features such as #federatedlearning, which enables collaborative training of models across datasets in multiple geographical locations.  We are excited to share this groundbreaking feature in Acentrik’s next version release, alongside with many other enterprise features that bring Web2-like experience to our users. Stay tuned. https://acentrik.io #datasharing #dataanalytics #enterprisetechnology #dataexchange #globaldata

The Future of Finance is Here 🤖 The pace of innovation is faster than ever, but are our finance systems keeping up? A discussion with Chris Tredwell of Aqilla, my guest on this week's #growcfoshow, revealed that many organizations still spend weeks closing their books. But the future is bright - with cloud solutions and AI bringing real-time data and insights. Outdated systems can't see what's possible. Chris highlighted a GrowCFO survey showing a big gap in best practices. For instance, these show closings take a few hours or a day or so, not the one to two weeks that many businesses still have. Finance leaders must benchmark to know what's achievable. Proper systems empower finance to power better decisions. A single source of truth is critical in this new age. Instead of drowning in data, provide context and a few key metrics. Real-time access and analytics will transform how businesses operate. Are you ready to take advantage? Don't miss Chris' keynote at the GrowCFO Summit! 🤩He'll share his vision for an AI-powered future. Join the thought-provoking discussion on technologies revolutionizing finance. What questions do you have? The future is now - are you equipped to lead the way?

🛣️ “It’s either my way or the highway” is something you’ll never hear from great leaders of successful CRO programs like Alex Rolleigh, Associate Director of Digital Optimization and CRO at the International Rescue Committee (IRC). In this clip, shares her struggle (and excitement) with scaling CRO to markets outside of the USA: 🗣️ “Where the struggle right now is getting global scale. I've been doing all things CRO for the last about two and a half years for just our US team, and now we are going global to the rest of our markets, which includes: Germany, South Korea, Sweden, the UK. So very, very different markets. The things that we do in the US, they do not. Those learnings are not necessarily transferable. Trying to figure out kind of how all this fits together, what learnings are transferable market to market and what aren't, I would say that's our biggest challenge at the moment. But it's also the most exciting part because we're starting from scratch in these markets. They have testing ideas and, it's great to hear from them.” Want to hear more from Alex? Come to EXL + Unite. It’s a half-conference, half-networking event — meet peers who share your struggles and opportunities. Tickets are still available!
