The Box Metaphor helps CTOs to take the last hurdle and become a strategist. Picture a box. Let’s say that the box stands for everything operational: the rules of the game, the policies, the agile and ALM processes, the software delivery itself, the cultural setup, the reporting lines, the onboarding process, etc. As a CTO, you’re continuously inspecting ‘the box’, trying to see where you could improve it, to align better with the business objectives, or to adjust based on these changing objectives. Because Strategy means thinking about where you want to be in the medium/long term, and adjusting the system to increase the chances of getting there. So, this potentially means changing the box, but changing the box will potentially create friction, and might even cause conflict. If, for instance, with a looming deadline, and everyone ‘in the box’ is aligned on delivering, you will need to have a strong story in order to justify changing any current elements of the box… 💡 Read more: https://bit.ly/cto-box #strategy #cto #business #startups #scaleups 𝘝𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘰 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘩𝘵𝘵𝘱𝘴://𝘸𝘸𝘸.𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘣𝘦.𝘤𝘰𝘮/𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩?𝘷=9𝘲𝘕𝘙𝘲𝘺3𝘢0𝘦𝘸

CTO & CAIO together but separate, a CAIO is more than a technologist, a profile that understands the technology but also the problems it faces in society, the challenges that AI poses, a business knowledge with a close working relationship with staff and a team capacity to lead, engage and unite different possibilities and capabilities.  https://lnkd.in/d42FnY4i

It's fascinating how generative AI is making its mark in the business world, isn't it? 👀 As generative AI becomes increasingly prevalent in the business world, the adoption of a "generative AI mindset" is essential for organizations and individuals to effectively navigate the transformative changes it brings. This mindset emphasizes proactive change embraced by people across the organization, requiring education, adaptation, and a willingness to experiment and learn from failures. Bernard Marr, a renowned futurist, highlights the need to address ethical and societal concerns related to generative AI, such as the potential for misinformation and overdependence on AI leading to the degradation of human skills. To succeed with generative AI, organizations, and individuals should embrace the changes, adapt quickly to failure, and lead people to success. This requires iterating quickly, taking ownership, acting on data, and being open to new ideas. 💡 Marr's tenets for building a generative AI mindset include understanding AI as a tool, promoting democracy within organizations, embracing continuous learning, working collaboratively with humans and machines, and being mindful of ethics while thinking critically. With the right mindset and enhanced knowledge, humans can leverage generative AI to drive innovation and productivity. How do you think organizations can best prepare their employees to embrace the changes brought about by generative AI, and what role do you see generative AI playing in shaping the future of businesses? #AI #innovation #business #technology
