Half of your buyers already picked their shortlist before your sales team even knew they existed. The only question left is whether your team knows what they typed in to get there.In this episode, John sits down with Tim Sanders, Chief Innovation Officer at G2 and author of five books including Love Is The Killer App, to talk about why half of all software buyers now start their research inside ChatGPT, how BDRs have quietly become the frontline of business intelligence for companies trying to win AI search, and why the one thing AI still can't replace in a sales rep is domain expertise.If you are in sales, sales leadership, or building a go-to-market team that needs to hold up in the AI era, this conversation gives you a practical way to think about what AI search means for your pipeline, why your BDRs might be sitting on your most valuable data, and how to make sure the human in the deal still has something the algorithm doesn't.Want to build a sales team that can hold its own in the AI era?

Tonight on America At Night with McGraw Milhaven, Sultan Meghji, co-founder and CEO of Frontier Foundry, Senior Technical Expert at CSIS, and the FDIC's inaugural Chief Innovation Officer, examines whether the U.S. banking system is prepared for a post-quantum future. As quantum computing advances, financial institutions face new questions about cybersecurity, encryption, and protecting sensitive financial information. Then, author Stephen Talty joins McGraw to discuss The American School of Spies: The Archaeologists Who Fought the Nazis and Saved the Treasures of Ancient Greece. Talty reveals the remarkable story of archaeologists who became involved in espionage during World War II and worked to protect Greece's priceless cultural heritage from the Nazis. Two very different stories—but both explore the people working to protect something of enormous value, from America's financial infrastructure to the treasures of the ancient world.

About This Episode Frank Cottle sits down with Dave Wright, Chief Innovation Officer at ServiceNow and co-author of Infinite: How Visionary Leaders Transform Today's Businesses into AI-Forward Companies, to dig into why so many companies are pouring money into AI and getting almost nothing back. Dave's argument: most companies aren't failing at AI because of the technology — they're failing because they're using it to automate the same broken workflows they already had, instead of rethinking the workflow itself. Frank pushes back with his own company's playbook: rewriting 130 job descriptions from scratch, doubling productivity with the same headcount, and giving guardrails to the people instead of the AI. The two also get into revenue-per-employee at AI-native companies, Ford's very public AI-quality-control stumble, why five generations of workers are adopting AI so differently, and whether "human-in-the-loop" is already outdated thinking.
Tonight on America At Night with McGraw Milhaven, Sultan Meghji, co-founder and CEO of Frontier Foundry, Senior Technical Expert at CSIS, and former Chief Innovation Officer of the FDIC, examines the future of AI guardrails and asks whether efforts to regulate and manage artificial intelligence are already too late. Rep. Jon Rosenthal joins McGraw to discuss becoming the Democrat endorsed by longtime Republican strategist Karl Rove and what the endorsement means in the broader political landscape. Bill O'Reilly discusses his latest perspective on America in Confronting America: What Has to Change, examining the challenges facing the country and the changes he believes are necessary.

The Big Unlock · Roberta L. Schwartz, PhD, EVP, Houston Methodist Hospital and CIO, Houston Methodist In this episode, Roberta Schwartz, Executive Vice President at Houston Methodist Hospital and Chief Innovation Officer at Houston Methodist, explores how healthcare is moving from AI hype toward a more mature, outcomes-driven approach to innovation. She argues that as technology companies expand beyond traditional “swim lanes,” health systems must become more thoughtful about selecting platforms that can address multiple needs while avoiding fragmented solutions. Roberta emphasizes that technology alone does not create transformation. Successful AI adoption requires rethinking workflows, redesigning processes, and measuring whether technology improves care, strengthens the workforce, and reduces costs. She shares Houston Methodist's approach of bringing operators and IT leaders together to evaluate innovation through both frontline impact and ROI. She also discusses agentic AI, virtual care, and centralized specialty services as ways to expand access and improve workforce efficiency. Her message to healthcare leaders is to remain optimistic but skeptical: define trials, measure outcomes, question assumptions, and ensure every technology investment delivers meaningful value. Take a listen.
Programmatic advertising gives us more data, automation, and targeting options than ever. But behind every impression, click, and conversion is a real person whose circumstances, attention, and needs can change. In this episode of the Programmatic Digest Podcast, Hélène Parker speaks with Carole Lawson, founding partner of Marketstorm, about the relationship between data, technology, AI, and human behavior. Carole shares how her experience in technology, government innovation, behavioral economics, and data science led her into programmatic advertising. She also explains why traders should be careful about overcontrolling campaigns based only on what appears logical inside a DSP. One powerful example involves a luxury bottle of wine purchased at 4 a.m. after the buyer saw an ad while playing Solitaire in Oklahoma. A trader might have excluded that time, location, or environment. The technology, however, recognized that it was the right moment for that specific person. This conversation explores how programmatic professionals can combine human judgment with AI, select stronger audience signals, recognize audience fatigue, and measure performance beyond the last click. Key takeaway The goal is not to choose between human judgment and AI. The goal is to understand what each does best. Programmatic professionals provide strategy, context, client knowledge, and critical thinking. AI and machine learning can identify behavioral patterns and opportunities that a person may not see. Strong performance happens when those capabilities work together. Check out the interview on YouTube!

Most companies investing in AI visibility are optimizing for the wrong thing. Being cited by an AI response and being recommended by an AI response are completely different outcomes, with click-through rates that differ by a factor of 70. Tim Sanders, Chief Innovation Officer of G2 and executive fellow at Harvard's AI Institute, joins Craig Smith to explain the hidden mechanics behind how ChatGPT and Gemini actually decide which software to recommend, and why the answer has almost nothing to do with what's on your website. When a user asks a commercial intent question, both models enter a "validation layer" process that specifically down-weights vendor content and seeks verified third-party signals: appearance on authoritative lists (41% of the recommendation weight), awards and accreditation (18%), and online reviews (16%). None of these can be manufactured. They must be earned. The conversation covers the structural transformation in how B2B software buyers behave, half now start their search with an AI prompt, up from 29% a year ago, with two-thirds projected within a year, and why most companies' organic search traffic is on a structural path toward zero. Sanders also delivers some of the most specific competitive data on AI model usage available anywhere: ChatGPT does live retrieval 100% of the time on research queries; Claude does it less than 40% of the time. ChatGPT and Gemini account for 81% of G2's AI research citations. And more than one in four enterprise employees bypass corporate AI tools entirely, using their personal ChatGPT because it has their memory and none of the guardrails. The episode closes with Sanders' most forward-looking prediction: within three years, AI agents will write the prompts, locate the software, and purchase it on behalf of businesses - with minimal human checkpoints - making the trust infrastructure G2 has built over more than a decade the most valuable asset in the AI-driven buying cycle.

What if the most magnetic thing you could do for your business is simply be more of who you already are? In this episode, Erin sits down with Rebecca Richardson, known across social media as The Mortgage Mentor: a nationally ranked, award-winning loan originator with over 25 years in the industry, a speaker, a coach, and a soon-to-be author. This conversation will leave you sighing a breath of relief, because Rebecca gives you permission to stop performing someone else's version of success and start building a business around how YOU are wired to think, work, lead, and define success. Rebecca's story begins with a dad who was a real estate attorney, a finance bug caught while working for a financial planner in college, and a pitch to a small Tennessee mortgage broker: "If you'll teach me what it is, I'll work hard and I'll make you money." She fell in love with the problem-solving of the job (in her words, "one big algebra equation combined with a Rubik's Cube") and did everything the industry prescribed: rise and grind, always available, chameleon for every client, 50 calls on Monday morning. It earned her the President's Circle and the Chairman's Club… and by 2018, it earned her a wall. Health issues and personal losses left her with what she calls the honest starting point of her transformation: "I don't have another choice other than choosing to do things differently if I want to stay in this industry." So she changed the game. She shifted from chasing to attracting, went all in on video early (posting on TikTok in 2019 after hearing GaryVee say all small businesses should be there), and learned to trust the voice that said "I might be early, but I'm not wrong." The result? Her business tripled. At her peak she closed 225 units, then turned around and closed 226 the next year, with a licensed assistant and half a processor. And the trade-off wasn't more sacrifice. It was a better life. Listen in as Erin and Rebecca discuss: Growing up around real estate (her dad was a real estate attorney) and the pitch that got her hired at a small Tennessee broker: "teach me, I'll work hard, and I'll make you money" Why the mortgage business is "one big algebra equation combined with a Rubik's Cube," and why she loves the problem-solving and the human connection Doing it the prescribed way until 2018: Brian Tracy tapes, always-on availability, being a chameleon for everyone, and hitting the wall anyway The turning point that wasn't enlightenment: "I don't have another choice" The mindset shift from chasing to attracting, and why attracting requires the willingness to be different Being early on TikTok in 2019, the questions people asked ("are you trying to educate teenagers so they buy from you in 10 years?"), and trusting "I might be early, but I'm not wrong" 225 units, then 226 back-to-back, with an LOA and half a processor, and a better life balance as the trade-off Desperation vs. decisiveness: do we have to break before we have the courage to do something different? Why Rebecca shares the behind-the-scenes, not just the accolades: "I would rather talk about the process, because the process has to be individual" Letting go of "my work was my worth," the insatiable monster of proving yourself through volume The dopamine hit, the "death period," and being willing to be bad so you can get good The efficiency lens on social media: one 5-minute video can reach a room of 300 people The Hustle Olympics, cortisol addiction, and learning how to actually rest Rebecca's pacing tools: a locked loan for every working day of the year, and planning 3 things per day based on real capacity instead of an endless to-do list The Inside Out anxiety character check-in: pause, reflect, and decide instead of pushing until you crash Representation: "Wait, you can do that?" and why seeing other women run business differently changes everything Her upcoming book Rule Breakers and the Built by Design / Business Blueprint archetypes: strategist, visionary, connector, operator, and advocate Erin's reminder: fear is not fact, and fear is not a forecast About Rebecca Richardson, known as The Mortgage Mentor, is a nationally ranked, award-winning loan originator, speaker, and coach with over 25 years in the mortgage industry, recognized by Scotsman Guide, HousingWire, and National Mortgage Professional. She serves as Chief Innovation Officer at Mpire Financial, and after going all in on video in 2019, she built an audience of 175,000+ followers across social platforms that now drives roughly a third of her annual production. Through her Built by Design methodology, Rebecca teaches producers and team leaders how to build a business around how people are wired to think, work, lead, and define success, with hands-on coaching in personal branding, content, and audience building.

In questa puntata live di Actually, registrata durante “To The Peak” a Bolzano, commentiamo le notizie tech insieme a Claudio Erba, fondatore e Chief Innovation Officer di Docebo. Partiamo dal round da 3 miliardi di euro di Mistral per capire quanto l'Europa sia davvero in grado di competere nella corsa globale all'intelligenza artificiale. Poi allarghiamo lo sguardo: NVIDIA, Hugging Face, gli investimenti miliardari nell'AI, il costo dell'energia e una domanda che fino a poco tempo fa sembrava ancora lontana: è arrivata davvero l'AGI? Parliamo anche di lavoro, adozione dell'AI nelle aziende e di cosa potrebbe rallentare una tecnologia che continua a correre sempre più veloce.

This week, we turn our attention once more to Centra's ecommerce platform and recent roadmap activity.Martin Jensen, founder and Chief Innovation Officer at Centra, reveals how agentic AI is moving from “smart intern” to genuine digital colleague, and why the next competitive edge is no longer the code itself, but the tools, playbooks and guardrails built around it.The discussion is framed by the concept of agent experience, whereby developers consider what an agent requires when planning new developments, not just what end users need. The episode explains what this shift means for merchants, agencies and the vendors powering ecommerce. Martin explains why Centra is now designing around the agent experience first, how its agentic AI offering supports hundreds of real-world scenarios and why human teams will increasingly supervise agents across multiple systems rather than just inside one platform.You'll discover:That whilst shopper behaviour is evolving, a bigger evolution is happening inside brands.How Centra's agentic AI is taking on repeatable ecommerce tasks instead of operations teams.The three layers of guardrails Centra uses to keep agents safe, useful and controlled.Why agencies are becoming more embedded in strategy, not just building solutions.How B2B ecommerce is changing through AI-powered translation, endless-aisle drop shipping and inline analytics.Martin shares key innovations in Centra's product roadmap, including a curated integration marketplace and customer-facing AI capabilities such as semantic search and next-generation recommendations.The conversation also explores how Centra is expanding its ecosystem, focusing on reliable, battle-tested integrations across payments, CRM, ERP and customer data.For ecommerce businesses, the opportunity is significant: smarter AI tools can help teams automate repetitive work & respond to customers faster, giving employees more time to focus on strategic decisions and relationships. But adoption depends on trust and clear human oversight.Chapters:[00:30] Introduction to Martin Jensen and Centra's product strategy[03:00] The AI revolution inside ecommerce brands[03:55] Why writing code is no longer a competitive advantage[06:50] Centra's agentic AI strategy[08:40] Why AI agents need purpose-built tools and MCP access[13:30] Designing for agent experience instead of only user experience[17:35] Guardrails: permissions, controls, and supervisory agents[21:15] AI token costs, pricing, and competition[27:20] Centra's latest platform innovations[30:10] AI opportunities and adoption challenges in B2B[33:20] Centra's integration ecosystem and app marketplace[36:15] Centra's criteria for technology partnerships[40:30] Human handoffs and customer service guardrails
Most companies have smart people and solid products, yet still miss out on their biggest growth opportunities. The problem isn't just strategy, it's that leaders keep solving familiar, comfortable problems instead of creating bold new ones that force innovation. Today's guest, Ted Santos of Turnaround Investment Partners, works as an outsourced Chief Innovation Officer, helping CEOs deliberately create “the right problems” that unlock new markets, galvanize teams, and drive breakthrough growth. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Ted explains why effective leadership means becoming a “professional troublemaker,” the kind of CEO who sets seemingly impossible challenges and lets the organization grow into the solution. He shares powerful examples like Steve Jobs demanding 1,000 songs in your pocket and turning the iPod into the iPhone, and Howard Schultz positioning Starbucks as the “third place” between home and work. These weren't random ideas; they were intentional problems with no blueprint, designed to reveal gaps in the market and stretch people beyond what they thought they could do. Ted also uncovers the hidden, psychological side of innovation: why most breakthrough initiatives fail not because of bad ideas, but because of limiting beliefs and blind spots inside the people tasked with executing them. He tells the story of a mortgage professional in his 60s whose lifelong habit of joking to feel accepted was quietly killing his deals, until coaching helped him unlearn that blind spot, redirect his strengths, and double his productivity twice in six months. Ted's work shows that when leaders and teams confront these internal roadblocks, they gain the capacity to handle uncertainty, collaborate more deeply, and consistently produce high‑impact results. The conversation goes further, connecting business performance with personal life. Drawing from his book, “Here's Why You Can't Find Love,” Ted explains how unresolved relationship issues and high divorce rates quietly drain corporate productivity costing an estimated $300 billion a year. He argues that companies must evolve beyond the old two-gear model of “hire in good times, lay off in bad times,” and instead develop employees so deeply in communication, conflict resolution, and resilience that it becomes more expensive to let them go than to keep them. https://youtu.be/iwDRNQBKGRg?si=y-TslIE6cN7-FmyH If you're a CEO, founder, or business leader who wants to build a culture that thrives on uncertainty, finds hidden opportunities, and creates sustainable breakthroughs in both work and life, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership, innovation, and human performance. Quotes: “Most breakthrough initiatives fail not because of bad ideas, but because of what people already know about their limiting beliefs, mental roadblocks, and blind spots.” We've accepted a world where companies only operate in two gears: hire in good times, fire in bad times without ever looking for a third, fourth, or fifth possibility.” “Imagine making your employees so valuable that it costs more to lay them off than it does to keep them.” Contact Details: Protect Your Ideas; Secure Your Future: Book Your Free IP Consultation Today Create Your Next Breakthrough: Connect with Ted Santos on LinkedIn Master Change.

In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Michael Gadsby, founder and co-founder of O3 World and Chief Innovation Officer of O3XO.Michael talks about his unconventional path into business, from discovering web design at the dawn of the internet to freelancing, building an agency, and eventually partnering with Keith Scandone to grow O3 World. Michael shares how relationships helped them land their first customer, Philadelphia Style Magazine, and why having a co-founder with a different perspective can make all the difference when navigating difficult decisions and big opportunities.Michael then turns to AI and how companies can actually put it to work without trying to transform everything overnight. Michael explains why O3XO takes a “start small and scale” approach, helping organizations identify everyday friction points, prioritize practical AI use cases, and create solutions that give teams more capacity to do meaningful work. He also discusses staying ahead of rapid technological change, building custom solutions with increasingly accessible tools, and the importance of real conversations over AI-generated “slop”.Get a fresh perspective from Michael Gadsby on making sense of AI, finding opportunity in uncertainty, and building alongside the right people in this episode of The First Customer!Guest Info:O3XOhttps://www.o3xo.ai/Michael Gadsby's LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelgadsby/Connect with Jay on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jayaigner/The First Customer Youtube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@thefirstcustomerpodcastThe First Customer podcast websitehttps://www.firstcustomerpodcast.comFollow The First Customer on LinkedInhttp://www.linkedin.com/company/the-first-customer-podcast/

Every day, most of us drive around the car park of our own brain looking for the closest possible space ... the easiest answer, the fastest shortcut, the machine that will do the thinking for us. Mohan Nair thinks that habit is costing us something we haven't begun to measure. Mohan is a speaker, author and transformation leader who has spent decades working at the intersection of business, innovation and human experience, as CEO of Emerge, former Chief Innovation Officer at Cambia Health Solutions, and an adjunct professor at Kellogg. He is also a musician, a former TV talk show host, and, by his own description, the first healthcare executive to audition and lose at America's Got Talent. In this episode, Mohan takes me inside his new book Unreachable, and his argument that insight is biological, not technological ... something a machine can describe but never feel. We talk about the three signs you have become AI-obsessed, why editing your work is a different act from creating it, what "inconvenient learning" is and why the best leaders are forged by it, and the story of a ninety million dollar contract that turned on his refusing to hear a demand literally, which is exactly what AI would have done. It started with a teacher telling a sixteen-year-old boy he was a disgrace to his family. What Mohan did with that moment ... and what he thinks all of us must now do to stay human in an age of intelligent machines ... is the heart of this conversation.

What if the real risk of AI isn't that it takes your job — but that your company only ever uses it to cut costs? In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Dave Wright, Chief Innovation Officer at ServiceNow and co-author of Infinite: How Visionary Leaders Transform Today's Businesses into AI-Forward Companies. Dave started out as a mainframe operator in the 1980s and has spent the last fifteen years helping enterprises rebuild how work actually gets done. His argument is that most AI implementations stall for a reason that has nothing to do with the technology — leaders reach for AI to automate the past rather than to create room to invent the future. Tune in to episode 260 to hear why the handoffs between departments are where AI efficiency goes to die, what separates the companies getting real transformation from the ones that just get busier, and Dave's advice to the VP sitting on six months of pilots with nothing to show for them. AndrewTemte.com
We're incredibly honored to be joined by Dave Wright, Chief Innovation Officer at ServiceNow, and Brian Solis, ServiceNow's Head of Global Innovation, digital anthropologist, and nine-time author. Together, Dave and Brian run ServiceNow Futures and have just published Infinite: How Visionary Leaders Transform Today's Businesses into AI-Forward Companies (Wiley, 2026).This is an awesome episode, where we have the luxury of talking to quite literal titans of industry about applied AI. We start with the concept of the 'workflow,' the graph-structure of business logic — designed, as Dave puts it, for the limitations of people and the scarcity of resources, and now confronting an abundance of intelligence. From there we work our way to the tantalizing concept at the core of their book, an 'infinite company,' a company that is technically enabled to such an extent that it can continously, progressively, reinvent itself.Marek pushes the concept to its limits: can an infinite company generate synthetic demand? Can it get infinitely big? And when does it tip into a true dark enterprise, agents making executive decisions about what to build and why? For Brian and Dave, the answer leaves a path open for humans as leaders, workers, and collaborators, who function to destabilize the linear, incremental self-improvement of agentic systems and reroute business into new and unexpected places.At the core of our conversation: Brian Solis & Dave Wright, Infinite: How Visionary Leaders Transform Today's Businesses into AI-Forward Companies(Wiley, 2026). See: infinitecompany.ai
Most companies deploying AI are making the same mistake. They are using it to do what they already do, faster and cheaper, and then wondering why the return on investment does not materialize. Dave Wright calls this the iteration trap, and breaking out of it is the central argument of his new book, Infinite, co-written with ServiceNow futurist Brian Solas. As chief innovation officer at ServiceNow, Wright has watched the company grow from 300 employees to 30,000, worked alongside every CEO the company has ever had, and spent decades building the actual systems that run inside thousands of the world's largest corporations. His perspective on AI is not theoretical. It is grounded in what happens when organizations stop asking how to automate what they already do and start asking what they want to become. The difference between those two questions, Wright argues, is the difference between AI as an incremental efficiency tool and AI as a genuine operating model for business reinvention.On this episode of The Reboot Chronicles Podcast, we sit down with Dave Wright, chief innovation officer at ServiceNow, to unpack why most AI strategies are failing before they start, how IKEA turned a customer service automation project into a billion euro revenue stream, what a hybrid workforce of humans and agents actually looks like in practice, why every company needs a chief workflow officer, and what it means to lead innovation inside one of the fastest growing enterprise software companies in the world. Wright also shares what he has learned from working under four very different CEOs and why the chief innovation officer might be both the best and worst job in any company.
Only 18% of banks have integrated AI workflows. Everyone else is automating the past. Most banks and credit unions are using artificial intelligence to make yesterday's work faster, then measuring the result with yesterday's numbers. Brian Solis, Head of Global Innovation at ServiceNow, and Dave Wright, Chief Innovation Officer at ServiceNow, call this the iteration trap and argue it is the same failure that has consumed digital transformation. Their new book, Infinite: How Visionary Leaders Transform Today's Businesses into AI-Forward Companies, published by Wiley in 2026, draws a line between an AI-enabled company that uses AI to do what it already did and an AI-forward company that uses AI to do what it could never do before. By their own research, only about 5% of companies have reached the second group. In this conversation with Jim Marous, Solis and Wright explain why an organization chart hides the handoffs where value stalls and why a work chart exposes them, how savings from iterative AI should fund the innovative AI that grows revenue, and what a chief executive should put in front of a board that has never approved an investment without a payback period. Wright describes a government delegation that planned to deflect 90% of its citizen calls and could not answer why. Solis describes 75 chief executives who admitted, privately, that they are expected to know what to do and do not. Marous brings the discussion back to banking throughout, from the quarterly reporting cycle that rewards cost-cutting to the risk avoidance culture that new bankers are trained into on their first day. He closes with his own prediction that the next wave of consolidation among banks and credit unions will be decided by readiness rather than by size, with the sharpest question in any acquisition being how much friction the acquired institution brings.

The identity and access model built for human users starts to break the moment an autonomous agent acts on someone's behalf, because an agent cannot be authenticated the way a person is. Rosalyn Curato, Chief Innovation Officer and General Manager of Agentic Security at Vouched, makes the case that an autonomous agent should never be an anonymous one, and that trust starts with verifying the agent and tying it to a known human. Her framing reduces to three questions every organization should be able to answer about an agent: who it is, which human it belongs to and what it has been given permission to do. From there the conversation turns to what breaks without that binding. Curato covers rogue agents, the risk of handing an agent too much access and the fraud and liability costs that organizations are already forecasting. She and hosts Rachael Lyon and Jonathan Knepher work through the controls that answer it, including delegated permissions, immutable audit trails, kill switches and the KYA-OS open standard that Vouched donated to the Decentralized Identity Foundation.

Alle wollen Antworten von "der KI". Aber selten machen wir uns Gedanken, wie wir bessere Fragen stellen können. Genau darin liegt für Stephan Grabmeier der teuerste Denkfehler für Unternehmen: sie stürzen sich in Technologien wie Blockchain, Metaverse, jetzt KI – ohne aber ihre eigene Zukunftsfrage formuliert zu haben. Dabei stecken wir mitten in einem Umbruch, wie er historisch nur alle paar Generationen vorkommt. Vom Agrar- ins Industriezeitalter dauerte es Jahrhunderte, von ChatGPT zu agentischer KI drei Jahre. Die jährliche Strategie-Klausur mit Powerpoint-Ergebnis wird da nicht wirklich helfen – und wer glaubt, ein Sprachmodell übernehme das Denken, ebenso. Stephan Grabmeier hat Transformation bei der Deutschen Telekom verantwortet, war Chief Innovation Officer bei Kienbaum und bei Haufe, Geschäftsführer des Zukunftsinstitut – und hat im Mai 2026 mit Stefanie Kuhnhen die markenzentrierte Strategieberatung everbrand gegründet. Ein Unternehmen, das eine neue Kategorie definiert. Im Gespräch mit Frauke Kreuter und mir erklärt Stephan, wie KI-humane Agenten Architektur Strategieprozesse demokratisiert, warum LLMs auf Plausibilität optimiert sind, aber nicht auf Entscheidungsfähigkeit – und weshalb C-Level-Denken die Dialektik braucht: These, Antithese, Synthese. Wir fragen nach, was langlebige Marken im Zeitalter der Vergleichbarkeit überhaupt noch unterscheidbar macht, und lassen uns von ihm mit der Zukunftsfrage challengen: Was würde dem Markt fehlen, wenn es #digdeep nicht mehr gäbe? Hört rein – am Ende wird es sehr persönlich: Was hinterlassen wir eigentlich unseren Kindern?
Who handles generative engine optimization for you? Not for your company - for you. A brand has an answer to that question: a team, a vendor, a budget line, a dashboard somebody checks on Mondays. A person usually has nobody at all, and the tools that do exist were built to read websites, which turns out to be a thin substitute for a career. In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle sits down with his own business partner, Erin Lanuti, co-founder and CEO of Lilypath and former Chief Innovation Officer at Omnicom Public Relations Group. Erin spent two decades building the measurement and AI search machinery that tells systems how to read brands, and kept running into the same asymmetry: companies have infrastructure to govern how they get interpreted, and individuals have nothing close to it. Authority Intelligence(TM) is the discipline she, Dan, and Todd Grossman built for the second problem. The conversation moves from measuring earned media without a pixel to why she started digging into generative engine optimization roughly nine months before the industry had a name for it. What follows is Erin's case for why the individual version of that problem needs its own tools, and why the damage stays invisible to the person it's happening to. It ends on the question Erin says she hears from clients more than any other right now, which is whether they need their agency at all. Listen in and hear about: Why GEO tooling built for brands doesn't do the job when the subject is a person rather than a website Why an authority built for human audiences doesn't carry over to a machine one, and what has to be rebuilt from scratch How Conversation2Commerce and OmniearnedID measured earned media without a pixel, and why impressions survived anyway The Tide Pod scenario that turned AI search from a marketing question into a legal and reputational one What happens to earned citations when the outlets that produce them keep shutting down The value question clients are now asking their agencies out loud Notable Quotes from Erin "I keep saying measurement needs an intervention. It does, because we have better tech than we've ever had. And the consumer journey has changed. And we have to ask ourselves why. Why are we measuring that? What's the importance of that metric? Is that still true today?" "Help me understand how, in a world where advertising budgets are getting cut to these publications and we're losing tons of earned media outlets every day, in this new world of GEO, when earned is more important than ever, if they're all shutting down, how are we going to get those earned citations?" "As we look at some of the most respected people in the world that we've been doing some analyses on, these people should be perfect in the AI system. And they're far from perfect." "There are people that have way less authority but know how to game the system. They know that if they assemble a clear picture around a topic, clear, concise, consistent, that their authority in the eyes of a machine can be perceived higher than people who without question have higher status or stature."

What does it really take to challenge the status quo in healthcare, and win? Dr. Imamu "Mu" Tomlinson, CEO of Vituity and author of Less Than One Percent: How Disruptors Defy the Odds, joins host Eric Glazer to share hard-won lessons on leadership, resilience, and breaking barriers. In this energizing conversation, Mu discusses: How to turn "you can't" into the fuel that drives innovation. Why being disagreeable, optimistic, and relentless are the core traits of true disruptors. Lessons healthcare can borrow from sports icons like Steph Curry and leaders in entertainment. Why moments of victory - not defeat - are the best opportunities to spark lasting change. You'll come away with a fresh perspective on leadership, culture, and how to build teams that defy expectations and achieve more. About Dr. Imamu (Mu) Tomlinson: Imamu Tomlinson, MD, MBA, is the Chief Executive Officer at Vituity, a physician-led and -owned multispecialty partnership.

Dans cet épisode de Connected Mate, PPC propose un débrief de conférence depuis le Raise Summit, organisé les 8 et 9 juillet 2026 au Carrousel du Louvre, à Paris. Dans l'ambiance intense de l'événement, il revient sur l'intervention de Manoj Nair, Chief Innovation Officer de Snyk, une plateforme spécialisée dans la sécurité du code et des chaînes logicielles à l'ère de l'IA.PPC n'interviewe pas Manoj Nair : il analyse son keynote, très technique au départ, pour en dégager les implications concrètes pour les entreprises, les développeurs et les dirigeants.Le point central est simple : avec les agents IA, le risque ne commence plus seulement au moment où un système est déployé. Il commence beaucoup plus tôt, au moment même où le logiciel est écrit. Car si les agents ne se contentent plus d'assister les équipes mais produisent du code, choisissent des composants et assemblent des dépendances, alors il faut repenser toute la chaîne de sécurité.PPC montre pourquoi ce basculement change la nature du sujet. La cybersécurité n'est plus seulement une affaire de correction après coup. Elle devient une question de prévention, de contexte, de gouvernance, de traçabilité et de responsabilité.Un épisode pour comprendre pourquoi l'IA responsable ne commence pas dans les grands discours, mais dans les choix très concrets que les agents font lorsqu'ils construisent du logiciel.Découvrez NoteTaker AI, l'une des premières applications françaises conçues pour exploiter tout le potentiel d'Apple Intelligence.

Somewhere in the National Archives, there are 13 billion documents that belong to every American — and for most of our history, you had to get yourself to Washington, DC if you wanted to see them. In the third episode of our Unsung series, Kelly talks with historian and writer Sarah Vowell about Pamela Wright — a woman who grew up on a ranch in Conrad, Montana, became the Chief Innovation Officer of the National Archives, and spent her career making sure those records were available to everyone, not only those who could make the trek to DC. This conversation is a reminder that democracy is not just an idea — it's a practice, carried out every day by diligent, caring people, most of whom we'll never know.To connect with Kelly and get a list of her weekly takeaways, join Kelly's free Substack.Check out Sarah Vowell's essay in Who Is Government?

In this episode of Data in Biotech, host Ross Katz sits down with Woody Sherman, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at PsiThera, for a conversation on why AI can transform drug discovery's paperwork and code while barely touching the hardest part of the problem: the molecules themselves. Woody's career runs through physical chemistry at MIT; over a decade at Schrödinger building tools the industry still relies on; founding Silicon Therapeutics (where his team took a small molecule STING agonist from concept to clinic in roughly three years); scaling that platform after Roivant's acquisition; and now leading PsiThera's effort to build oral small molecules for immunology targets that today are only reachable with injectable biologics. The conversation digs into why large language models excel at automation, coding, and regulatory writing but hit a wall when the task is predicting how a molecule behaves, what "physical AI" actually means as a category distinct from both LLMs and traditional physics-based simulation, and why representing molecules as quantum mechanical objects rather than text strings or 2D graphs changes what's predictable. Woody also walks through the STING program in detail, why the field's excitement over fast co-folding models like Boltz needs a strong dose of skepticism, and what it takes to build a database and team culture where chemists, biologists, and data scientists can actually understand each other. What you'll learn in this episode: >> Why the contradiction of "AI is transforming drug discovery" and "drugs still take a decade and billions of dollars" can both be true at once. >> How Silicon Therapeutics engineered a small molecule STING agonist to dimerize itself through a quantum mechanical interaction that had never been designed for before. >> What "physical AI" means as a new category built on embeddings from orbital-level, quantum mechanical representations of molecules, rather than language tokens or force-field simulations. >> Why molecular representation is the whole game: the limitations of SMILES strings and 2D graphs versus true 3D, quantum mechanical embeddings like PsiThera's Psiformer model >> Why a widely publicized claim of near-FEP-quality binding affinity at 1,000x the speed didn't hold up under scrutiny. >> How PsiThera captures not just simulation and wet lab data but human chemist judgment and reasoning as structured data, and why building a shared vocabulary across computational and experimental teams is as important as any model. Meet our guest: Woody Sherman, PhD, is Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at PsiThera, a biotechnology company designing oral small molecule drugs for immunology and inflammatory diseases, starting with the TNF superfamily. His career spans physical chemistry research at MIT, more than a decade at Schrödinger developing computational drug discovery tools, founding Silicon Therapeutics (acquired by Roivant), and leading the platform's evolution through PsiThera today. He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers spanning molecular dynamics, quantum mechanics, free energy simulations, and machine learning for drug design.

Artificial intelligence is moving at a pace few organizations have ever experienced, but how much of today's AI adoption is driven by real business value versus fear of being left behind? This week on That Tech Pod, we sit down with Steven Walchek, Founder and CEO of Liminal, for a conversation about what separates companies that are genuinely transforming with AI from those simply putting on a show.Steven shares how growing up around entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley shaped his approach to building companies, his experiences helping scale innovation at Amazon Web Services and FIS, and the lessons learned from launching multiple startups and achieving three successful exits. Along the way, he explains why every major technology wave creates both incredible opportunities and very expensive mistakes.We also dig into why so many organizations fall into "innovation theater," whether executives are adopting AI because of business strategy or fear of missing the next big thing, and which technologies from the past two decades proved to be underrated or wildly overhyped. Steven offers an honest perspective on where enterprise AI is heading, what regulated industries need to get right, and the AI investments companies may look back on with regret just a few years from now.If you're trying to separate AI hype from lasting business value, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Steven Walchek is the Founder and CEO of Liminal, where he helps large regulated enterprises securely scale generative AI with the right balance of governance, visibility, and multi-model access. He's spent more than 15 years building and scaling companies across fintech, cloud, and enterprise software, focused on turning emerging technologies into real operational advantage. Before Liminal, Steven was EVP and Chief Innovation Officer at FIS, where he led corporate venture initiatives, launched new business lines, and built multiple subsidiary companies. Earlier in his career at Amazon Web Services, he worked on early machine learning and cloud infrastructure initiatives while helping expand the partner ecosystem and drive new revenue growth. He's also been involved in three successful exits, including DebtMarket, the fintech company he co-founded and later sold to Intercontinental Exchange. Today, he focuses on helping regulated industries adopt AI at scale without losing control, security, or trust.

In this conversation, Paul F. Austin speaks with Dr. Dave Rabin, neuroscientist, board-certified psychiatrist, and co-founder of Apollo Neuroscience, about one of the most important questions in psychedelic work: why do some journeys become overwhelming, destabilizing, or difficult to integrate? Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-362/?ref=278 Dave explains why safety is not just a matter of set, setting, or a strong screening form. It is a physiological state in the nervous system. Together, Paul and Dave explore how fear, trauma, and dysregulation can shape a person's ability to receive and process a psychedelic experience, and why preparation must include a deeper understanding of the body. The conversation also covers pre-session nervous system assessment, vagus nerve activity, HRV, haptic vibration, breathwork, therapeutic touch, consent, and the role of tools like Apollo Neuro in helping clients feel safe enough to surrender, process, and integrate. Dr. David Rabin, MD, PhD, is a neuroscientist, board-certified psychiatrist, health-tech entrepreneur, and inventor who has studied the impact of chronic stress in humans for more than a decade. He is the co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer at Apollo Neuroscience, and co-founder and executive director of the Board of Medicine, a nonprofit organization establishing evidence-based clinical guidelines for the safe use of unregulated alternative medicines, including plant medicines. His research focuses on non-invasive therapies for treatment-resistant conditions, trauma recovery, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, and the neurobiology of belief.

From April 16, 2020: On this episode of Lawfare's Arbiters of Truth series on disinformation, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic spoke with Camille François, the Chief Innovation Officer at Graphika, where she works to identify and mitigate disinformation and misinformation online. On April 15, Graphika released a report on an Iranian influence operation focused on COVID-19, an operation blaming the United States for supposedly creating the virus and praising China's response to the pandemic. Camille discussed what Graphika found and how this campaign compares to similar operations in the past—like another campaign from Ghana that Graphika helped uncover, which was linked to Russia and posted content aimed at black Americans. And they discussed the “ABC framework” that Camille has developed to understand disinformation campaigns.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Jeff Meade spent 20 years building companies. Then a friend asked him one question on a hike near Mount Fuji — what makes you happy? — and he couldn't answer it. That four-hour conversation led him to Paul Quinn College in Dallas, where he now serves as Chief Innovation Officer and runs a program with one non-negotiable rule: every student, regardless of major, must start and operate a real business before they graduate. No simulations. No worksheets. Real ventures, real customers, real failure. Every school says it wants future-ready students. Most are still teaching them how to pass tests. Jeff Meade decided that wasn't good enough — and built a venture-based learning model that turns a graduation requirement into the most practical education a student can get. If you're a school leader wondering whether entrepreneurship education belongs on your campus, this episode answers the question. ✅ What You'll Learn Why employers stopped wanting graduates who can pass tests — and what they're asking for instead How Paul Quinn structured a seed fund and advisor model so student ventures get real resources, not just pitch competitions Why this generation's biggest professional liability is their inability to talk to strangers — and what to do about it What a theoretical entrepreneurship curriculum gets wrong, and how venture-based learning fixes it How K–12 leaders can apply the same principles without a college-sized program
