Can you articulate why your organisation or business matters?

Today we're exploring the power of storytelling and connecting with an audience. First David talks to Hoffman European MD Mark Pinsent. His one wish?

If AI is the answer, what's the question? Are humans scalable..?

On the show today we're exploring generative AI, analytics, and data. As the world goes crazy for ChatGPT are we ready to unlock it's potential? First we talk to Dmitry Shapiro, CEO of Koji. Dimitry is convinced we're entering a new phase of our relationship with generative AI, and asks us to look at creativity again, and ourselves 'what's good enough'?
