Successful Strategy Implementation: How To Align Your Initiatives With Strategic Priorities
When it comes to strategy, too many organisations believe in the power of ‘magic’. They build a strategic plan, identify the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and supporting targets required to deliver their goals and then hope that – as if by magic – success will be delivered. This is something I see again and again. The fact is that developing the plan and KPIs is only the first step, the key is to implement the plan, which is largely about the projects and initiatives that are selected to help deliver the strategic goals.

Why Every Company Needs An Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy
Here’s no doubt that artificial intelligence (AI) is a transformative technology – perhaps even the most transformative technology available today. But if you think the transformative nature of AI is limited to global tech giants and blue-chip companies, think again. AI is ultimately going to transform every business, in every industry.

Even if you can’t yet imagine [...]

What do you think of when you think of "big data"? For many, it's a nebulous term that invokes images of huge server farms humming away. Or perhaps you think of receiving some kind of personalized advertisement from a retailer. But big data is so much deeper and broader than that. I believe there are 10 major areas in which big data is currently being used to excellent advantage in practice - but within those arenas, data can be put to almost any purpose. 1. Understanding and Targeting Customers This is one of the biggest and most publicized areas of [...]

The Vital Role Of Big Data In The Fight Against Coronavirus
One of the advantages we have today in the fight against coronavirus that wasn’t as sophisticated in the SARS outbreak of 2003 is big data and the high level of technology available. China tapped into big data, machine learning, and other digital tools as the virus spread through the nation in order to track and contain the outbreak.
