David Edelman, Executive Advisor and Senior Fellow at Harvard Business School, joined Jamie Flinchbaugh on the People Solve Problems podcast to discuss personalization and customer strategy in the age of AI. As the founder of Edelman Advisory Services, David brings over 30 years of experience as a thought leader in marketing, personalization, and technology. David emphasized that AI in personalization goes beyond marketing to transform the entire customer experience. He explained the distinction between mass customization of the 1990s and today's AI-powered personalization. While mass customization focused on modularity and customer selection, modern personalization uses proactive data analysis to anticipate customer needs and create new value. To illustrate this, David shared the example of Sysco, the food delivery company. Their app uses customer data to identify a restaurant's menu style, price points, geographic considerations, and purchasing patterns. Within 300 milliseconds of opening the app, Sysco can provide personalized recommendations, even suggesting new menu items that incorporate discounted ingredients from nearby warehouses. This approach has helped Sysco grow 50% faster than industry averages since launching the app. When discussing how the C-suite should approach AI and customer engagement, David noted that while organizational structures vary, many companies now designate someone to lead customer experience initiatives. This might be a Chief Marketing Officer, Chief Experience Officer, or Chief Digital Officer. He stressed that whoever takes this role must prioritize empowering customers rather than merely manipulating them or cutting costs. Companies growing fastest through personalization consistently start with the goal of addressing customer challenges. For executives who didn't grow up in the AI age, David recommends getting "hands dirty" with the technology. While having a strong sense of strategy remains essential, leaders need to pair this with understanding the art of the possible in AI. He shared his experience as CMO at Aetna, where he identified that customers struggled to understand their health insurance. By partnering with a digitally savvy team member, they implemented personalized videos explaining each member's specific plan. This resulted in 70% of people watching the videos and a 20% reduction in call center volume. David addressed the challenges of integrating AI with legacy systems and data quality issues. He explained that generative AI is increasingly able to integrate disparate databases, but organizations must still prioritize data as an asset. At Sysco, for example, salespeople must input detailed account information, including menus and prices, before receiving credit for signing a new customer. On the topic of data privacy, David noted that perceptions vary widely – "one customer's creepiness is another customer's 'wow'." He recommends small-scale, rapid-cycle testing to determine appropriate boundaries for different customer segments. David concluded with advice for leaders looking to explore AI: spend 15 minutes daily using Large Language Models as assistants, experiment with image generation capabilities, and challenge functional teams to improve throughput by 30% using AI – not to eliminate jobs but to scale operations and create new customer value.

Offshore oil and gas operations are among the most complex and remote in the world. From harsh weather to limited physical access, these environments demand reliable, high-speed communications to enable modern digital workflows and keep operations running safely and efficiently. As offshore operations become more autonomous and data-driven, the traditional telecom models fall short. Legacy systems struggle to meet rising demands for bandwidth, low latency, and mobility—especially when platforms are unmanned or vessels are constantly on the move. Tampnet is addressing this head-on by delivering a mixed-mode communication strategy that combines subsea fiber, private 5G, and satellite (LEO) into one seamless network. Their infrastructure enables everything from robotic inspections and mobile edge compute to AI-driven automation—critical for modernizing offshore energy. In this episode, I speak with Frode Støldal, Chief Digital Officer and President of the Americas at Tampnet. We explore how a hybrid telecom model is revolutionizing offshore connectivity, driving operational efficiencies, and accelerating digital transformation. From supporting 450+ global platforms to enabling real-time decision-making at the edge, Frode shares a glimpse of the offshore future—one powered by high-speed, intelligent infrastructure.

In dieser Podcast-Episode spreche ich mit Mark Klein, Chief Digital Officer der ERGO Goup AG, über die Herausforderungen und Chancen der Künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) in der Versicherungsbranche. Wir tauchen tief in die Frage ein, wie die ERGO Group KI in den operativen Betrieb integriert und wie die Akzeptanz bei den Mitarbeitern gefördert wird. Hier sind 5 Highlights aus unserer spannenden Diskussion: ERGOs KI-Strategie: Mark erklärt das ambitioniertes Ziel der ERGO, bis Ende 2025 digital führend in der Branche zu sein, und beschreibt die verwendeten KPIs zur Messung des Fortschritts – von Online-Vertriebsanteilen bis hin zu digitalen Kundeninteraktionen. Wir sprechen über die Benchmarking-Strategie gegenüber anderen großen Multilinern. Der KI-Lebenszyklus bei ERGO: Wir beleuchten den Reifegrad verschiedener KI-Anwendungen bei Ergo. Während prädiktive KI (Machine Learning) bereits etabliert ist und in Bereichen wie Dokumentenmanagement zum Einsatz kommt, befinden sich generative KI und agentenbasierte Systeme noch in der Anfangsphase der Implementierung. ERGO GPT im Einsatz: Mark beschreibt detailliert die Implementierung von Ergo GPT, einem auf Azure basierenden Large Language Model von OpenAI, das mit ERGO-spezifischen Informationen angereichert wurde. Er betont die wichtigen Aspekte von Datensicherheit und Governance sowie die interne Akzeptanzsteigerung durch Schulungen und ein Multiplikatorenmodell. Über 50% der deutschen Mitarbeiter nutzen es bereits! Herausforderungen der generativen KI: Wir diskutieren die Herausforderungen der generativen KI, insbesondere das Problem von "Halluzinationen" (falsche Informationen) und wie die ERGO die Qualität der KI-Outputs sicherstellt – Stichproben, QA-Prozesse und der wichtige "Human-in-the-Loop"-Ansatz. KI-gestützte Schadenregulierung: Wir betrachten die zukünftige Rolle der KI in der Schadenregulierung. Während die Automatisierung bereits weit fortgeschritten ist, betont Mark die weiterhin wichtige Rolle des Menschen, insbesondere bei komplexeren Fällen. Er spricht über den demografischen Wandel und die Notwendigkeit der Automatisierung zur Bewältigung der steigenden Volatilität und des Fachkräftemangels. Der Fokus liegt auf der Unterstützung der Mitarbeiter, nicht auf deren vollständigem Ersatz.

Unser heutiger Gast setzt sich für digitale Teilhabe ein und für eine Verwaltung, die bürgerfreundlich, effizient und modern arbeitet, und sie ist überzeugt, dass digitale Innovation im öffentlichen Sektor genauso mutig sein kann wie in der Privatwirtschaft. Nach ihrem Studium der Wirtschaftsinformatik und einer Promotion in Gender Studies begann ihr Weg zunächst in der Unternehmensberatung, bevor sie in die Digitalwirtschaft wechselte. Dort übernahm sie Führungspositionen in der Tech-Branche, bevor sie sich einer neuen, herausfordernden Aufgabe stellte: Die Digitalisierung einer der größten Kommunen Deutschlands voranzutreiben. Seit 2022 ist sie Chief Digital Officer der Stadt München und verantwortet die IT-Strategie, digitale Infrastruktur und Innovationen für eine Verwaltung mit über 40.000 Mitarbeitenden. Ihr Ziel: München zur Smart City weiterentwickeln, Verwaltungsprozesse effizienter gestalten und gleichzeitig Open Source und digitale Souveränität stärken. Sie setzt auf Kooperation, Vernetzung und einen Kulturwandel, um die Verwaltung zukunftsfähig zu machen. In ihrer Rolle als CDO berät sie nicht nur den Oberbürgermeister in Digitalisierungsfragen, sondern treibt auch Schlüsselprojekte wie die elektronische Akte, den digitalen Zwilling Münchens und neue digitale Bürgerservices voran. Neben ihrer beruflichen Verantwortung ist sie auch als Autorin, Feministin und Netzpolitikerin aktiv. Sie kämpft für Diversität, Inklusion und eine digitale Gesellschaft, die allen zugutekommt. In ihrem Denken verbindet sie strategische Weitsicht mit pragmatischem Handeln – denn erfolgreiche Digitalisierung bedeutet für sie, heute schon an übermorgen zu denken. Seit fast 8 Jahren beschäftigen wir uns mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärken kann – statt ihn zu schwächen. In über 470 Gesprächen haben wir mit fast 600 Menschen darüber gesprochen, wie sich unsere Arbeitswelt verändert und welche Ansätze uns helfen können, diese Herausforderungen zu meistern. Was bedeutet digitale Transformation im öffentlichen Sektor wirklich? Welche Rolle spielt digitale Souveränität für Städte und Verwaltungen? Und wie kann eine moderne Verwaltung Innovation, Agilität und Bürgernähe miteinander verbinden? Fest steht: Für die Lösung der aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Ideen, Perspektiven und Herangehensweisen. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work – heute mit Dr. Laura Dornheim.

What happens when an industry as heavily regulated and historically slow-moving as pharma is forced to accelerate digital transformation? In today's episode, I welcome Florian Schnappauf, Vice President of Enterprise Commercial Strategy at Veeva Systems, to discuss how Chief Digital Officers (CDOs) are reshaping the pharmaceutical landscape and why their role is now more critical than ever. The pharmaceutical sector faces mounting pressure to innovate faster, manage costs, and compete with digital-first biotechs. Research predicts the industry will spend $4.5 billion on digital transformation by 2030, a shift that has led to the emergence of CDOs in the pharma C-suite. But what does this role actually entail, and how does it help companies navigate the complexities of drug development, clinical trials, and commercialization? Florian shares insights on how CDOs are not just supporting digital initiatives but actively orchestrating, building, and operating them. From managing the sheer volume of data generated by clinical trials to ensuring that digital tools enhance—not hinder—the drug development process, the CDO is now a key differentiator between industry leaders and laggards. We also explore how effective digital leadership can shorten timeframes from drug discovery to patient treatment, improve communication with healthcare providers, and ultimately ensure that pharma companies achieve more with fewer resources. With regulatory hurdles, technological advancements, and shifting market dynamics, the pharmaceutical industry is at a pivotal moment. So, what does the future hold for digital leaders in pharma? How will CDOs continue to evolve, and what lessons can other industries learn from their journey? Join us as we break down the digital transformation of pharma and the leadership required to drive meaningful change. And as always, I'd love to hear your thoughts—do you think pharma is adapting quickly enough, or is there still a long way to go? Check out the What Pharma Needs Next podcast.

Rob Garmaise, VP of AI research at Info-tech Research Group, is at the forefront of Info-tech research, helping clients identify best practices across their IT operations. They conduct extensive primary and secondary research, speaking with industry experts and other clients to understand the drivers of value and proof that a given practice leads to better results. AI Vendors, Verticals, and Research Taxonomy Rob explains that the firm has a vast research taxonomy, with AI being an important part of it. They have a team in place to connect with thought-leading vendors and their leading adopter clients to gather insights on various functions, rules, verticals, and sub-segments where AI is taking root. The strength in the marketplace currently lies in the horizontal focus on functions and roles across organizations rather than the various verticals or lines of business. Most AI vendors aim to maximize their total addressable market which is difficult to do when focusing on just one vertical. The Market and Vertically-orientated Competitors Rob predicts that the mix of vertically-oriented competitors will change as the market evolves. Currently, the strength is 80% on functions and roles, 20% on verticals. This approach allows AI vendors to maximize their total addressable market and stay competitive in the market. In this discussion, Rob discusses the implementation of AI solutions in various functions and roles within companies, including IT. He highlights the strengths in CO generation, data and analytics, service management, HR, sales, and marketing. AI in HR, Sales and Marketing, and Operations In HR, AI is being used to improve employee experience by indexing content and interacting with users. Talent acquisition recruiting uses AI on both sides of the recruiting equation, with AI being  used in talent assessment, helping to cut through biases and improve diverse hiring. Sales enablement and sales automation tools are the top lead and revenue-driving categories, while customer experience is the top cost-saving category. Operations are also being explored, with AI parsing information captured from video cameras for various applications such as shop floor settings, retail environments, and restaurants. Natural language conversations with equipment can lead to predictive maintenance, allowing organizations to strategize and optimize operations. Robert goes on to explain more about the improvements made using AI in HR, IT, and sales and management. AI-based Solutions in the Retail and Insurance Industry The conversation turns to the use of AI in various industries, including retail, and insurance. In the retail industry, AI-based solutions have impressed with their ability to scan store shelves with smartphones and receive critical metrics like stock availability, pricing, promotion, and competitor positioning. Smart Digital Signage solutions can also be used to adapt to demographics and reactions of customers. In the insurance industry, AI-based solutions include smart digital signage that can adapt to demographics and react to customer reactions. In the insurance industry, AI-based solutions include smart digital signage that can adapt to different demographics and respond to customer needs. Companies are exploring AI solutions to improve employee experience, sales, and marketing, while also focusing on cost-saving and predictive maintenance strategies. Robert discusses the potential benefits of AI in retail, such as real-time reactions to client information, and automated stock out detection. AI in the Legal and Financial Sectors In the legal sector, AI is being used for various purposes, including legal research, contract review, and contract management. This is particularly important for law firms and organizations with understaffed legal teams. In manufacturing, AI is being used to offer real-time instructions to machine line operators. Rob talks about disappointments in areas like financial services, healthcare, and government. In financial services, AI is being used for fraud detection, digital trust, and remote inspections. In insurance, AI can parse frequent documents into well-constructed spreadsheets or databases, and can conduct remote inspections. Rob also points out areas of disappointment.  Advice on Adopting AI  The conversation turns to the trend of AI being bought rather than built, particularly in the context of AI models. AI should be bought unless a build is absolutely necessary. The build side involves more uncertain investment levels and lead times, as it can lead to app sprawl and uncertainty in the market. Companies are advised to be deliberate about their build decisions, especially when it comes to AI models. On the talent side, companies are hiring new types of Chief AI officers or existing employees, such as Chief Digital Officers, Chief Technology Officers, and Chief Information Officers. These individuals are often left in charge of driving AI forward, but they may not have the necessary skills for building a new and unique model. On the build side, companies may need additional data scientists and data modelers, which can be challenging to achieve. On the consulting side, there is a growing trend of companies using top strategy firms on multiple AI projects. While most clients are still trying to orient themselves, consulting firms can help direct them towards buy-side scenarios where a POC or two can be done without a large implementation. Rob also touches on the importance of understanding the market and the potential benefits of AI solutions.

From the Cockpit to the Boardroom: Steve Monaghan's 30-Year Journey Tokyo-based Steve Monaghan began his professional life as a commercial pilot before soaring into global finance. Over the past three decades, he's driven innovation in banking and tech, reshaping industries across Australia, Tokyo, and the Middle East. His past roles include Chairman & CEO at Gen.Life, Chief Innovation Officer at DBS Bank, and Chief Digital Officer at Riyad Bank. Today, he holds key positions with RAKBANK, FinMir.ai, and several cutting-edge startups, making him a transformative force in the financial world. Key Highlights of Our Interview: The Foreigner's Lens “Being an outsider brings a unique perspective—an untainted view of industries and cultures. It's about seeing things differently, learning from fresh angles, and questioning the norms others might take for granted.” “Being an outsider has its perks and pitfalls. It offers clarity but also means navigating unfamiliar landscapes. The key is turning the so-called disadvantage of not ‘belonging' into a powerful tool for change.” Immigrant Wisdom - The Dual Edge “Living as an immigrant since my twenties taught me resilience and adaptability. You're always learning, always adjusting, and that shapes how you approach leadership and problem-solving.” From Fear to Understanding “People don't resist change because they don't want it. They resist because they don't understand it. The journey is about removing fear by turning a ‘no' into a ‘know'—helping them see the benefits and feel confident about the new direction.” The Advantage of Experience - Ask the Right Questions “In the generative AI era, older employees often have an edge—they know how to ask better questions. This ability to craft meaningful queries is a huge advantage, especially when navigating tools that rely on prompt engineering.” “While younger employees might excel in technical adaptability, seasoned professionals bring a different kind of skill: the wisdom to ask the right questions. This balance of experience and curiosity is key to driving innovation forward.” Engaging Overlooked Talent “The bank in the Philippines found a surprising strength in its mature staff. When engaged and empowered, they contributed significantly to innovation, proving that tech adoption isn't about age but about the opportunity to learn and apply.” _________________________ Connect with Us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Steve Monaghan ______________________ Chief Change Officer: Make Change Ambitiously.

How is the trifecta of blockchain, machine learning, and AI reshaping the future of financial services? Today, we're joined by Rob Krugman, Chief Digital Officer at Broadridge, to delve into the transformative power of digital technology within the financial sector. In this episode, we explore Broadridge's latest insights on digital transformation, highlighting the widening gap between digital leaders and those lagging behind. An astounding 75% of firms are confident in their digital strategies, yet only a third are at advanced stages in refining customer experiences, modernization, and data management. Rob shares that successful digital transformation is not just about technology but also involves a cultural shift within organizations. We discuss the barriers that institutions face, such as the challenge of prioritizing long-term transformation over short-term firefighting, attracting top-tier digital talent, and overcoming the inertia of traditional, internally focused approaches. Moreover, we'll cover the crucial role of AI in creating more engaging and personalized customer experiences. From AI-assisted form filling in insurance claims to persona-based interactions that aim for real-time personalization, financial services are on the brink of a major overhaul. Rob will also share insights on the cultural adjustments needed to integrate AI effectively, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning and the development of "superhuman" capabilities through technology. Looking towards the future, Rob outlines a vision for 2025 and beyond, where blockchain, machine learning, and AI could enable real-time, 24/7 global transactions with enhanced decision-making processes and anomaly detection. He also provides advice for organizations at the early stages of their digital transformation journey, suggesting a focus on securing a top-down mandate, starting small with experiments, and being prepared to iterate based on feedback and results. Join us as we uncover how Broadridge is navigating these changes and what other financial institutions can learn from their journey. How are you preparing for the digital transformation in your field? Share your thoughts and join the conversation.
