Generative AI
Bain's quarterly survey of executives finds that companies are just as bullish on generative AI as they were a year ago. Accelerating real AI use cases to real business impact proves to be a game changer in the executive board room but speed across many strategic business functions should not be underestimated. December 2024, Bain & Company
Strategy
"Rapidly accelerating technology advances, the recognized value of data, and increasing data literacy are changing what it means to be data driven. We know 2025 isn’t too far off, but that’s the point". An enterprise "health check" of how impactful companies' adoption turned out. January 2022, McKinsey
Future of Work
Generative AI has increased the focus on data, putting pressure on companies to make substantive shifts to build a truly data-based organization. By 2030, many companies will be approaching "data ubiquity". September 2024, McKinsey Quarterly
Data Governance
Data governance is critical for ensuring accurate, protected, and well-managed data, especially in the AI and machine learning era, leading to better decision-making, compliance, and efficiency across organizations. Strong leadership is essential. Tomasz Jamroz, May 2023, Forbes
