Competitive Advantages with New Management approaches- Takeaways from a Roundtable
RSS feeds WordPress
February 17, 2023
The first edition has centred the original goal on letting guests sharing ideas, opinions doubts and proposals about how to enhance classic Competitive Advantages (CAs) regrouped in high-level groups and how to achieve the new ones.
In addition, keeping away Jargon and buzzwords (to the best of my capabilities) was successful.
Lesson learned: less is better
I have reconsidered the optimal number of attendees: 6 + me (instead of 8-10.) because:
1. It is more intimate.
2. As when starting from a question, thoughts unfold progressively (critical reflection)
3. Thus, there is more time to discuss and express new concerns, doubts, experiences, and ideas.
Question raised were:
*How do we achieve the new CAs?
:* where do you start to prepare the ground and act?
Meaningful views, comments and further questions were raised by the Guests mainly about this topics & sub-topics:
Leadership
Delegation
Leadership-Culture
Knowing your company’s culture
Listening.
Personalities
The points above are referred to "How can we change something we are unaware of?"
3 minutes reading will give more content to reflect about.
RPA Business Case (1-part): Direct and indirect net-benefits -Considering transformations
RSS feeds WordPress
January 20, 2023
One of most relevant tool to enable decision-making about RPA, is the Business case.
Compared to the classic templates and adaptations, what often does not emerge is the holistic consideration of what we can call Indirect net benefits, the net benefits of People-centric approach, and the time when a firm can reap these indirect net benefits.
In a business case these factors have the role of mediators of the direct costs and benefits which as they are mentioned now, can reveal themselves misleading.
This is the first part of RPA business case .

Normalising Digital Transformation
CMCE
April 23, 2022
In my previous article, “Is Digital Transformation (DX) an opportunity for Management Consultants with SMEs?” published in the January edition of this Newsletter, I provided some evidence that shows how the failure rates of digital transformation are linked to the concept of ‘technology fallacy’, defined as the assumption that the challenges created to business by technology can be only solved by technology itself. I also showed how DX is a viable service for management consultants.
Digital Transformation is here: which adopter are you?

March 25, 2022
During the last years, we have seen that technology moved from an introduction into the market to Hype with a lot of advertising about successful stories but also a critical percentage of failures.
it can be said that for many companies, regardless of the size, there is disillusionment about Digital Transformation in terms of supporting business strategies with a more limited level of risk.
Well, now is the time to be aware that new supportive technology is available, and new approaches for transformation change are possible.
Where are you in the awareness stages of DT, and what adopter are you?
When technology support change. and culture shift: low and no code applications

March 14, 2022
Digital transformation is claimed to be risky because technology is seen as predominant over culture and people and lacks a proper strategy or is wrongly transferred and disconnection from the company's Business strategy and goals.
What's new?
It could be considered as the Columbus egg from Tech.
Low or No-code are not new technology, but it is not spread already.
Employees can customise and personalise many applications in the Digital world under a controlled IT environment.
There are impressive benefits for what is related to Culture, Change, and Engagement allowing a hybrid approach to Transformation: Top-down and Bottom-up.

Providing Value Beyond Hard Skills
RSS feeds WordPress
November 20, 2023
I have reflected on how human connections are crucial in consultancy today more than ever.
When starting projects with new clients, focus first on making real human connections by actively listening, showing empathy, and understanding their unique culture. Rather than taking a one-approach-fits-all method, adapt to each client's specific priorities and expectations to build trust.
Show you care about them as people, not just your skills, to gain trust. Regularly check in to re-align goals as things change while balancing hard metrics with talks about human impact.
Consulting is ultimately about developing rapport and seeing clients as human beings, with technical skills being just the foundation.
Why are Use Cases essential for businesses to implement AI?
RSS feeds WordPress
November 05, 2023
Why are use cases crucial for AI implementation? Well-planned use cases are key to ensuring AI delivers real value. They map solutions to specific business goals, enhancing workflows and customer experiences. Iterating use cases also sparks innovation - solving nagging problems and revealing new opportunities. Most importantly, robust use cases build stakeholder trust that AI is applied ethically, driving adoption. Rather than chasing tech trends, AI success depends on targeted, accountable use case planning upfront. This disciplined approach makes AI’s benefits concrete, not speculative, setting up lasting wins. Pragmatic use cases transform AI from hype into sound strategy, yielding better human decisions. #genai #usecases #aistrategy #aiinnovation

The Clash of Titans: Regulators and Hypers Face Off
RSS feeds WordPress
October 11, 2023
The EU recently created the first laws to regulate artificial intelligence (AI). The rules establish human oversight and data quality standards for high-risk AI. The laws are a flexible framework countries can build on with industry-specific regulations. Some believe companies should self-regulate AI. However, self-regulation has flaws like conflicts of interest, no accountability, race to the bottom standards, public harm, and loopholes. Governments must create tailored AI laws across industries and coordinate globally. Thoughtful regulation allows safe AI innovation with humanity’s interests at the centre.
Trust in AI: what is expected from employees, managers, executives- monitoring Trends
RSS feeds WordPress
October 09, 2023
Trust in AI is very important but must be balanced. Too little trust can cause fear of AI and limit the use of it. However, too much trust can lead to just following AI without thinking critically. Companies should build responsible trust by testing AI to be sure it works and is transparent. Leaders should encourage questioning AI and overseeing it ethically. Making changes like reviews and risk monitoring can also increase trust. With the right amount of trust, employees, managers, and executives can feel confident to adopt AI and innovate while minimising risks. Trust is crucial for getting the benefits of AI while being responsible.

Motivated by the fresh nomination from THINKER360 as TOP VOICE 2023, I decided that this achievement brings responsibility to demonstrate further thought leadership in topical topics that connect AI with other specific aspects of a Business.
AI from multiple angles:
1. Trust and its impacts on employees, managers, and executives.
2. Strategy management with AI, complementing classic tools with AI's new capabilities.
3. Explainable AI to understand AI decision-making.
AI is complex, not just hype, and we suggest continuing thoughtful discussions on AI and trust.

The American Psychological Association (APA) conducted a survey exploring how AI and workplace monitoring affect workers' mental health and feelings of worth in the workplace. Their survey results indicate these technologies may increase employee stress and decrease morale; as AI/monitoring spreads more widely, important questions emerge regarding human impact as people go through big changes at work, with uncertainty looming large. Companies need to incorporate advanced technologies while upholding worker dignity by adopting ethical, inclusive practices.

We strongly advocate responsible AI deployment beyond the hype.!
We discuss artificial intelligence accountability, which is evolving but still has unanswered ethical questions.. Debates continue over whether AI should be held to human responsibility standards. More work is needed translating research into implementation across industries, auditing algorithms, and setting clear responsibility expectations. Addressing these complex accountability and ethics issues requires collaboration between companies, technologists, policymakers, lawyers and researchers as AI advances.

August 19, 2023
Building authentic relationships over simply displaying expertise is my goal as a consultant. By investing honest efforts to understand clients' perspectives through active listening and thoughtful questioning quickly builds strong bonds, as does adapting approaches to each organisation's culture for maximum trust building. Regular informal check-ins enable early identification and fixing of any potential issues early. Although quantitative metrics remain useful tools, qualitative narratives that resonate emotionally are more impactful in creating authentic, long-lasting value than temporary project wins. Ultimately, enriching human bonds over temporary project wins are more essential in creating authentic and lasting value! This is how I plan to deliver authentic, lasting value through providing authentic, long-lasting value through enrichment of human bonds than short-term project wins - this is how I want to deliver authentic and long-lasting value!

Becoming an Empowering Manager: Simple Steps to Delegation and Mentorship

I remark on the importance of delegation and mentorship for managers. Delegation involves assigning tasks to employees with trust, while mentorship focuses on supporting their growth and potential. By providing feedback and granting autonomy, managers can cultivate a learning culture. Embracing mentorship in engaged, motivated, and high-performing teams leads to a cycle of success. Managers who excel at delegation and mentorship do not save time but empower people to shine and drive the organization toward greater accomplishments.

July 27, 2023
AI is becoming common in many fields. How will it evolve? Gartner's models help us understand this. Initially, a new technology excites people but eventually, the hype fades. AI is now in a mature phase.
The Technology S-Curve shows technology improves slowly, speeds up, and slows again. AI is in the speed-up stage now. However, challenges like ethics, technical issues, regulations, data quality, and skill gaps exist.
Business leaders can smooth the journey by having a clear AI vision, promoting data culture, being realistic about AI's capability, focusing on problem-solving, maintaining data quality, filling AI skills gap, and addressing bias and security concerns. Therefore, they need an AI implementation plan.

There are threats to the Management Consulting (MC) business continuity with AI.
One is the opportunity for companies ( MC clients' to speed up and analyse quantitative and qualitative data using Machine learning and increase their competitive advantages and change strategies quickly.

Organizations looking to implement artificial intelligence (AI) require a solid plan and a clear understanding of its capabilities.
With quality data, team skills that match, and reliable systems in place, this changeover should prove successful.
While there may be hurdles, they should all be handled accordingly and handled as part of an overall transition process.
IT leaders play a vital role here, but people from various departments should also work together to evaluate whether their organization is prepared for AI implementation - looking at their data, planning training or upskilling plans, and properly managing it to ensure a successful transition.

In this event, we'll do a round of introductions among the participants, as well as have a group discussion on the topics of business and market analysis.
Today, 90% of startups fail. Among the reasons reported for this are running out of money choosing the wrong market, bad partnerships, as well as lack of research. Staying on top of the business game is in fact as relevant as ever for founders.

CMCE Virtual Showcase: Virtual Consulting: How Can You Make It Work For Your Consulting Business?
CMCE
January 19, 2022
Join our Showcase to learn more about the key trends when it comes to virtual management consulting and how virtualisation can have a positive impact on efficiency, collaboration and quality. We will also look at how virtualisation could play a particularly significant role in building trust across all stages of the consulting process.
Our speaker, Luca Collina is an International Transformational Consultant with a background in management consulting, project and change management. He has recently completed an MBA in consulting with York St John University. His article reflecting his research into this area was published earlier this year in the Management Consulting Journal.
Building applications with no-code platforms have become increasingly popular because they are fast, cheap, and virtually dependent on no-coding skills. Digitalisation's future is firmly anchored in no-code technology today.
It is becoming increasingly common for end-users to develop their applications without relying on coders; a lack of coders’ resources and skill sets are further contributing to this.
Currently, there is no standard for what qualifies as a no-code platform. No-code platforms still need some time to replace core systems, becoming the only way applications are developed. Coding will only be needed to create and enhance no-code platforms. Digitalisation is likely to be costly for businesses that ignore the no-code wave compared to their peers.
New approaches for strategy management with AI- the end or refreshing of classic tools?
Date : October 04, 2023
Most companies today still use traditional tools for making business strategies. But in the future, AI could start changing how strategy is done. AI may bring new capabilities that complement classic methods. For instance, AI can rapidly analyse customer data to detect shifts in demand. It can also quickly model different scenarios to foresee market changes. This could make planning faster and more data-driven. However, AI has limits, like lacking human judgment and creativity. So, pure AI-driven strategy may never fully replace human strategists. Rather, the optimal path forward could be combining AI strengths with human strengths. AI may become an enhancement for strategists, not a replacement. The future likely holds a hybrid model, with AI and classic tools working together in new approaches to strategy. However, widespread adoption is still gradual as companies test these uncharted waters. Strategy and Ai.
The end of AI and ML "back box" with XAI- Explainable Artificial Intelligence
Date : October 04, 2023
ML and AI have been developed to optimise models by increasing accuracy or decreasing prediction error. However, this approach often overlooks the importance of understanding why and how your ML model makes the predictions that it does. Explainable AI (XAI) seeks to increase transparency within artificial intelligence systems by offering explanations of their decisions, thus increasing trustworthiness for individuals using these technologies and increasing human-align decision-making by showing how AI systems make choices and operate. Overall, this XAI initiative hopes to illuminate its "black box", creating more fair, accountable, and human-aligned systems through understandable actions and decisions made by AI systems.
Trust in AI-individuals about trust in AI, and what is expected from employees, managers, executives
Date : October 04, 2023
Right now, most regular people don't trust AI fully. Employees, managers and executives know trusting AI has risks. But some AI can be trusted for certain tasks if built right. More transparency on how AI works is needed to increase trust. With the right trust, AI adoption and new processes can thrive. However too much trust in unreliable AI can hurt accountability and let biases go unseen. The goal is balanced trust - enough to gain AI benefits but still verify its decisions. Increased trust can enable innovation, but blind trust in AI can damage workplace culture.
