"Today’s leaders are taking a more nuanced approach to performance, looking at more than just financial outcomes when they want to see how things are going—and what to do when challenges arise. The leaders we surveyed also considered productive teams (54%), the ability to deliver innovative products and services (48%), and whether the organization is growing ahead of its competitors (47%) to be top indicators of performance. Additionally, they cited team collaboration (44%) and a resilient culture (41%) as clear signals that an organization is performing at a high level." This one has a ton of content and in full transparency, I have not devoted the attention I want to this guide yet. But, it's important work. It's really important work. I appreciate Microsoft's investment in compiling the information in this guide. I encourage you all to take some time to engage with the content. This is a good start if you want to begin preparing your organization for the #futureofwork. The technologically enabled human may just be a path to find #inspiration in our work again, to leverage new capabilities to free us to imagine, think in new ways, #create, and #innovate. Shifting mindsets to help unleash our best human by creating environments where we can succeed and empower leaders to empower their people is a big lift. But I know we can. Research like this can help. What do you think? #micosoftviva #peoplescience

🚀 Kicking off day two at #NerdioCon2024 with a thought-provoking keynote by Joe Whittinghill of Microsoft, right here in the stunning Punta Cana! Joe's insights on "Leadership in the Age of AI" were particularly resonant, highlighting Microsoft's transformative journey from a know-it-all to a learn-it-all culture. 💡🌱 Here are my key takeaways: Embrace a Growth Mindset: Believe in the potential for change and growth in everyone. 🌟 Cultivate Agility: Create a culture that not only withstands but thrives on change. 🔄 Promote Experimentation: Encourage taking risks without the fear of failing. 🔬 Adopt Adaptive Leadership: Be flexible and responsive to the changing environment. 🧭 📊 Skilling is non-negotiable: A staggering 82% of employees must acquire new skills to stay relevant. Surprisingly, 60% lack the necessary capabilities to perform effectively. Leadership demands ambidexterity: Balancing the preservation of core business while fostering innovation is the key to sustainable growth. ⚖️ 🧠 The future is about adaptability: Intensify your commitment to a growth mindset. Make continuous learning a priority. Utilize Adaptive Leadership to navigate complex challenges.

There has never been a more exciting (and complex) time to be a marketer. With the rise of #AI we have new questions, exploration, and the opportunity to collectively pave the path for the future of our industry. I hear often from fellow marketers: "How do I get started?" Or "How do I get ahead?" Thank you to the Association of National Advertisers for inviting me to share Google's perspective on the answer to these questions at last week's Global #CMO Growth Council Leadership Assembly. Start with the #AI Essentials: 💡 Get ready with the right foundation. [Is your first party data house in order to fully power AI solutions?] 💡 Take action to maximize results with AI-powered campaigns. [How are you testing and optimizing toward business goals across creative, media, and measurement?] 💡 Shift mindsets to set your org up for success. [What silos are you breaking down + what exec suite relationships are you building up, to move with greater agility and momentum?] Great to see many industry friends there last week and hope the insights and discussion was helpful!

To leverage automation, you need the right solution and the right partners. Across industries, GenAI is setting up transformative expectations on scalability, efficiency, and productivity. This is why Microsoft has had over 900 organisations sign up to use its AI tools. When businesses can drive a 30% productivity increase, that means a 30% reduction in costs. If you’re in the business of multi-million dollar management, that’s not a negligible amount of money. The hard work is making it look easy. For global organisations looking to digitise and move towards pure automation, cross-functional collaboration between leading senior executives is absolutely vital. Without it, how can large-scale businesses manage large-scale transformations? Remember: For groundbreaking outcomes, you need cross-functional collaboration. #Leadership #Collaboration #Teamwork #Strategy
