Interview
Strategy, AI & Human Judgement – Ross Dawson
This week we explore how AI is transforming the way we approach and develop strategy – not just in boardrooms, but in so many of the myriad of decisions businesses and leaders need to make almost daily.
Our guest is Ross Dawson, a globally recognised futurist, keynote speaker, and strategy advisor. Ross is the bestselling author of ‘Thriving on Overload’ and founder of the Humans + AI community. Ross’s clients around the globe have included Google, Microsoft, American Express and Procter & Gamble.
Ross’s work today is focused on what AI can do to augment and support humans in a positive, value-adding way. He neatly combines both the big-picture vision of a futurist and the practical insights of someone experimenting with these tools daily.
What struck us most about this conversation was Ross’s articulation of how AI can be used across four distinct domains of strategy and how he’s observed few organisations have sharp clarity on each of these distinct and important elements. He also shares how AI is prompting forward thinking leaders to think about their strategy development and decision processes in different ways now AI can be injected into the process.
In our conversation, you’ll also hear Ross share:
- The technique Ross learned from Nvidia’s CEO for optimising AI outputs using multiple models
- Practical examples of AI being used in boardrooms including a unique conversation ‘monitor’
- The 2 most important human skills Ross believes we all need in an AI-augmented world, and . . .
- How threatened entry-level jobs can be completely reimagined to create value for both the individual and the business.
This is a thought-provoking exploration of how humans and AI can work together to create better strategies and better outcomes, so enjoy this episode with the forward-thinking Ross Dawson.
