In today's episode, we're tackling some of the most pressing topics in tech and business transformation, including strategies for AI integration, the evolving role of generative AI, and best practices for navigating ethical considerations in AI adoption. Joining us is the CEO of IdeaScale, a leader in innovation management who brings valuable insights into how AI can shape organizations' futures.  In today's competitive landscape, companies must go beyond just adopting new technologies; they need a structured, goal-driven approach. From automating processes to offering actionable insights through data, AI can enable growth and scalability.

Generative AI has quickly become one of the most influential technologies of the decade, but executives often need help with where to begin. Building an AI strategy for C-level decision-makers means identifying suitable applications for generative models and considering the long-term effects on the organization. Company's learning is critical here, as generative AI can amplify value or risk, depending on how it is implemented.
