Nov 13, 2024

Do you use AI to its full potential?

Knowing how AI can supercharge your work, and your business must be a priority for any C-suite executive. But there are also risks leaders must consider to be able to make informed decisions.

So where do you start?

My guest in this episode, Professor David De Cremer, is an author and business school Dean. He believes leaders need AI savviness and shares his thoughts on the mindsets needed to use AI in the board room and wider organisation.

He also discusses problems leaders can face around knowing when not to use AI, and the fact you don’t need to know everything about it for it to succeed.

To get the best out of AI humans need to collaborate with it rather than use it simply as a cost cutting tool. This episode is a must listen for anyone looking to do just that and enhance their leadership in a world powered by AI.
