1
00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:09,200
Hello, and welcome to a new
episode of the CTO show with.
2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,500
Matt Matt my name is Matt Matt
and I share daily news about
3
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,200
latest trends in Tech and
Entrepreneurship.
4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,300
I discussed topics like digital
transformation emerging
5
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:24,800
technology cyber security, and
startups and Entrepreneurship.
6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,400
In general, as, you know,
sometimes I host also thought
7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,500
leaders, innovators and
entrepreneurs, Ears to hear from
8
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:36,900
their expertise about wide range
of Industries and how they are
9
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:40,000
driving change and making an
impact in the world of tech and
10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,700
business.
And today I am very pleased to
11
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:46,800
have with me Dan good time.
Dan, thank you for joining me
12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,100
today.
Can you just introduce yourself
13
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:51,400
and what you do?
Yeah.
14
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,000
My pleasure.
Thanks for having me.
15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:58,100
So I run to professional
associations, focused on the
16
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:02,100
Automation and AI space as well
as The broader kind of digital
17
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:05,900
Enterprise transformation space.
We have over a hundred and
18
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:09,700
thirty thousand members
worldwide all coming to us for
19
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:14,900
Education, networking advice and
coaching around these topics.
20
00:01:14,900 --> 00:01:19,100
And so I'm fortunate the sense
that I get to spend half my day
21
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:22,000
speaking to clients about what
they're working on and what
22
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,100
their challenges are, and the
other half of my day, speaking
23
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:28,200
to the vendor and provider
Community about their
24
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,000
capabilities.
So it's It's been fun,
25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,600
especially the last last couple
of years with all the
26
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,300
technological advances
happening.
27
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,000
Whoa, this is like a spot on
because the first thing I wanted
28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,100
to ask you like what do you see
as the most significant current
29
00:01:43,100 --> 00:01:46,400
Tech Trends and how they are
impacting both, you know, the
30
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,300
customers or consumers and you
know that the providers at the
31
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:53,100
same time?
Yeah, I mean you don't have to
32
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:58,100
go too far in the news to see
all the the talk around chat GPT
33
00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:00,900
and generative AI.
So that's that's definitely The
34
00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:05,300
hot thing right now you know AI
is not new as most of the folks
35
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,400
you know watch you know.
It's definitely a accelerated in
36
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,400
recent years but you know in
recent months with this this new
37
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,800
access that the generative AI is
providing and I think you know
38
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,500
what's different is for you know
for a while it became a I was
39
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:27,900
this kind of nebulous thing that
required five years and five
40
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:31,000
billion dollars of our D.
If a company wanted To, you
41
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,400
know, really implemented and
then you had sort of, you know,
42
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,800
kind of Point solution or you
know, very narrow AI solutions
43
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,800
that that are part of our daily
lives.
44
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,800
Some people realize it.
Some people don't even realize
45
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,400
it's under the hood of some of
the technologies that they use
46
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,700
but what's different.
Now is that this this chechi PT
47
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:52,500
and now barred and some of the
others that are coming out, it's
48
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:56,000
really democratizing AI to a
point where your any individual
49
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,700
can access it.
Play with it and start seeing
50
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:00,300
the benefits instead of it being
this.
51
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,500
This black box a I think that
it's been for many years.
52
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:07,500
Yeah, I think I am calling it
like similar to what the
53
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:10,100
internet was, right?
That was like the DARPA net
54
00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:13,800
before and it was just like for
universities and for like
55
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,000
security and Defence and then
all of a sudden, you know, it
56
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,200
became public and everyone you
know, with just a phone line was
57
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,800
able to get to the Internet.
So this is exactly, you know,
58
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,400
that you use the right.
I would say expression for that.
59
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:32,200
Now, with all these talks,
About, you know, specially AI
60
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,100
generative AI.
I just heard a I just shared a
61
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,700
an episode and I was just
mentioning about you know,
62
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:45,100
what's the future like?
And I'm reading a lot of mixed
63
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:48,300
you know comments from different
people.
64
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:50,800
You see the people who are
pessimistic.
65
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,300
You see the people who are very
optimistic.
66
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,300
So what do you think?
You know, these Trends including
67
00:03:56,300 --> 00:03:59,600
generatively.
I are shaping the future of four
68
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,900
and you know what do you think
we're going to see in the coming
69
00:04:02,900 --> 00:04:05,200
years?
Yeah.
70
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,600
Yeah I think I think we're at
the point where we're going to
71
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,400
start seeing LeapFrog type of
events, right?
72
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,400
Where, you know, organizations
may have been investing in
73
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,700
technology incrementally and
didn't get really, you know, to
74
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:22,800
hurt or fall too far behind if
they weren't innovating but I
75
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,200
think you have kind of The
Perfect Storm of a couple things
76
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:25,800
right now.
Right.
77
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:31,400
And the first is this, you know,
post pandemic era of people that
78
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:34,800
you know don't don't necessarily
want to be in an Office that,
79
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,800
you know, more selective about
the jobs that they take are more
80
00:04:39,900 --> 00:04:43,400
looking for the better term.
We used to use was work-life
81
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,200
balance, but that's actually
really happening now.
82
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:50,700
And then you enter something
like this, this AI aspect where
83
00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:55,300
it really changes the way jobs
are being done.
84
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:59,200
And so, you know, I think that
for the organizations that have
85
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:04,200
not innovated, you know, their
time is limited, if they Start
86
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,800
really really quickly because
now it's just going to go
87
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,100
exponentially.
The gaps are going to are going
88
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:15,300
to increase exponentially and
you know from a job standpoint
89
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:20,500
you know my the the quote that I
saw you know, maybe a month ago
90
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:22,600
which I which I really liked.
I thought some that up pretty
91
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,400
well is that, you know, AI is
not going to take your job.
92
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,900
Someone who knows how to
implement AI is going to take
93
00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:31,700
your job.
The reality is AI is going to
94
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:33,800
take your job but not probably
our Job.
95
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,700
Not my job, your job today.
Probably our kids jobs.
96
00:05:37,700 --> 00:05:40,700
And that's, and that, you know,
as this thing becomes, you know,
97
00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:45,000
more and more accelerated, it
will get to that point but we're
98
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,300
just, we're just not at that
point, yet.
99
00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:48,900
We still need people to
implement it.
100
00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:51,900
And so the advice I give people
who are kind of freaking out
101
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:55,700
right now is, you know, which
was always my advice, but it's
102
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:58,700
even more important.
Now is, you know, learn these
103
00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:01,300
Technologies, learn how to be
useful, you learn how to
104
00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:07,500
increase the Of your service or
your you know, your individual
105
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:10,800
skill set, using these tools
because that's going to become a
106
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,300
differentiator.
Yeah 100%.
107
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:16,400
I'm just when I repeat, I'm
repeating myself because I
108
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,000
thought I shared this, the guy's
a I will not come and kill you,
109
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,800
right?
Like it's just a large language
110
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,800
model and you are the trigger
for it, so don't be scared of
111
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,700
it.
And in my opinion that I also I
112
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:33,600
shared yesterday and I'm sharing
all the time online.
113
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:38,800
And then, on other social media,
I'm saying that maybe this is a
114
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,000
moment where we are redefining
actually the definition of a
115
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,800
job, right?
Because maybe you, you don't
116
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,900
have to work like five days a
week and the pandemic, you know,
117
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:52,900
like came into the place and
showed us many things, speaking
118
00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:55,800
of the pandemic and all the
changes and how organizations
119
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,400
should, you know, keep
innovating, one of the areas
120
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,800
that I know Daniel.
You also work on its digital The
121
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,100
transformation like it is like
kind of a buzzword, but it's not
122
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:11,000
a buzzword.
So can you explain what it means
123
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,500
in real practical terms?
And I know like this is a
124
00:07:13,508 --> 00:07:16,400
repetitive question but I like
to hit different opinions.
125
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:18,200
Yeah.
And why do you think it's
126
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:23,400
important for businesses?
Now, in this moment to undergo
127
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:28,600
into this digital transformation
Yeah, I think for me, you know,
128
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,100
there's a, there's a big
difference that people kind of
129
00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:35,200
glazed over between digitization
and digital transformation.
130
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,000
It's the transformation part
that people kind of, kind of
131
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
forget, right?
And so, you know, to me digital
132
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,100
transformation is is changing
the way the organization
133
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:50,100
operates for the digital age,
not just digitizing a bunch of
134
00:07:50,100 --> 00:07:55,900
analog or paper stuff and doing
the same process, the It was
135
00:07:55,900 --> 00:07:59,500
before the business models have
been changing for a long time.
136
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:02,900
You know, I remember being at
the first event that we ever did
137
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:07,600
that we use the words digital
transformation and I remember a
138
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,100
banking executive coming up to
me afterwards and asking, you
139
00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:13,400
know, about, you know, some of
the stuff at the event and I
140
00:08:13,408 --> 00:08:15,200
said, what did you think?
And he said, you know, this is
141
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,300
all nice and dandy but I've got
a job to do today.
142
00:08:18,300 --> 00:08:22,200
I can't worry about tomorrow or
that's pre-pandemic and things
143
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,000
right now.
You fast forward.
144
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,000
The companies that are Changing
the way they do things are
145
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,500
dying, right?
I mean I mean the the pandemic
146
00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:35,799
kind of accelerated the
inevitable and you know the AI
147
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:39,100
now I think is going to even do
even do more towards that.
148
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:42,900
I mean you look around you see
some of the traditional you
149
00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:45,600
know, box stores and things.
They're either going out of
150
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,800
business or being sold for
pennies on the dollar because
151
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,000
they just relied on an in-person
model people coming into stores.
152
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000
People doing things, the The way
that they used to do things.
153
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,400
And so, you know, even some of
the more Innovative companies
154
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,800
struggled with, you know, the
remote Workforce thing and and
155
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,900
and and and interacting with
clients in a virtual world.
156
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:12,700
Right?
And so you know, it's a matter
157
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:15,100
of, you know, Survivor don't
survive.
158
00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:18,900
I think it's that that drastic
and as I alluded to before for
159
00:09:18,900 --> 00:09:21,700
the organizations that that
haven't started yet, maybe this
160
00:09:21,700 --> 00:09:25,200
AI stuff is a is an opportunity
to kind of catch.
161
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,700
CH back up.
Yeah, but your customers are not
162
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:32,300
buying the way they used to be.
Used to Brand loyalty is at an
163
00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:34,900
all-time low people.
Want convenience, people want
164
00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:37,400
experience.
People are not going to put up
165
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:43,300
with the rules and bureaucracy
that they did in 2019.
166
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,800
And so if you're not set up to
deal with that or even thrive in
167
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,800
that environment, you're going
to lose.
168
00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:56,500
Yeah, but sometimes I heard from
different people.
169
00:09:56,500 --> 00:09:59,300
Yeah, we want to go to this
journey, right?
170
00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:01,700
But we are facing some
obstacles.
171
00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:04,400
Like, what are the obstacles?
Usually, from your side, you are
172
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,600
hearing or challenges that
companies.
173
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,100
They are, you know, facing
during this transformation
174
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:12,100
journey.
And what's your advice to
175
00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:16,700
overcome these obstacles?
Yeah, my advice is to stop being
176
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:19,100
delusional.
Some of these organizations live
177
00:10:19,100 --> 00:10:22,400
in this, this, this, this, this
world where they have blinders
178
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,200
on, and they think that things
are always going to be the same
179
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,000
and not change.
And for a while it was, hey,
180
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,900
things are going to change now,
it's everything's changing
181
00:10:30,900 --> 00:10:35,400
around you, you know, I think
it's not a technology challenge.
182
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,700
It's a, it's a change management
challenge.
183
00:10:37,700 --> 00:10:41,500
It's a culture challenge.
It's a challenge in the way that
184
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,400
many of the the Legacy Centric
organizations were built.
185
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,700
The reason why you know the born
digital companies are succeeding
186
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:53,400
is not just because of Tech in
the data it's because they can
187
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,200
move faster.
It's because they understand
188
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,700
that the business model isn't
what it used to be and they
189
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:01,900
don't have as big a ship to turn
the traditional companies have
190
00:11:01,900 --> 00:11:06,700
to figure out how to turn that
ship because the old models
191
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:09,900
aren't going to work.
And so I think I think a lot of
192
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:17,700
it is, you know, at a sea level,
having the direction to say
193
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,700
we're not going to do things,
the way that we used to do
194
00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:23,300
things, we have to To move
faster we have to be less
195
00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:28,100
bureaucratic and and also
something I've talked a lot
196
00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:31,100
about is I think the incentives
need to change, right?
197
00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:35,300
People in large corporations are
incented to be conservative
198
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,900
because their fear, they fear
losing their job if they make a
199
00:11:39,908 --> 00:11:43,000
mistake, right?
But there's no incentive for or
200
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,100
D sensitive for doing keeping
the status quo.
201
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,400
So I think that Paradigm needs
to shift, I think organizations
202
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,600
need to start in sending people
to To take risks and innovate
203
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,300
like you've seen a little bit of
the fail, fast culture of the
204
00:11:55,300 --> 00:12:00,200
tech space, you know, and send
people to actually change things
205
00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:04,900
and he sent them from, you know,
just keeping the thing.
206
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,800
You keep the status quo that
ultimately will lead to the
207
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:13,900
demise of the the organization.
Yeah, I think to, you know, add
208
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:17,400
to what you said.
Dad, I believe organizations the
209
00:12:17,408 --> 00:12:20,500
number one thing, they need to
change the culture and this
210
00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:22,700
culture.
I'm calling it, bring the
211
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:26,100
startup culture during the
garage culture to your to your
212
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:30,400
organization like otherwise.
Like if you keep as you said
213
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,600
following these bureaucratic
processes, it's not a
214
00:12:34,608 --> 00:12:37,200
transformation.
It's a maybe digitization at the
215
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:42,100
most and you will not get any
benefit out of it, now, back to,
216
00:12:42,100 --> 00:12:46,800
to little bit of AI and because
this a help topic, what are the
217
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,300
most exciting or promising
applications of AI you are
218
00:12:50,300 --> 00:12:53,100
seeing in the Surprised and how
you are seeing, you know, the
219
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:59,200
future in this area.
Yeah, you know, you know, on the
220
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,100
generative AI stuff, you know,
people very excited because it's
221
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:04,600
the first time they've seen a
lot of these capabilities
222
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,200
directly.
I'm not, I'm not quite as
223
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,500
excited because I've seen some
of these things, you know over
224
00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:12,500
the last couple years.
But what I am excited about is
225
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:17,000
the next iteration you know
right now you know you put your
226
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,500
information and you know you
prompts into these things and
227
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:23,000
they're giving you kind of
general information scrape from
228
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,600
the web right from their
training data.
229
00:13:24,700 --> 00:13:26,300
Too.
But imagine that the next
230
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:29,600
iteration of that within your
organization where they
231
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,800
understand, who you are, they
understand, what your, what your
232
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,600
job is they understood they have
access to your, your databases
233
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,700
and and can learn.
And so, you know, this idea of a
234
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:50,100
digital AI assistant or digital
twin or just, you know, we used
235
00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:52,600
to say in the automation, you
know, a bot for every employee
236
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,200
that can be very, very powerful.
And also, So allow people, you
237
00:13:57,208 --> 00:13:59,300
know, take away the fear, a
little bit of this is going to
238
00:13:59,300 --> 00:14:02,100
take my job and make it more of
an enablement thing where it
239
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:04,900
actually makes your job better
and makes you more productive at
240
00:14:04,900 --> 00:14:06,500
your job.
Makes you actually want to go to
241
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:09,600
work every day because you know,
the Bots and the Automation and
242
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,800
the AI is doing a lot of the
grunt work for you and you can
243
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,200
do kind of deeper work thinking
kind of work real real knowledge
244
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,400
work instead of the the the
monotonous kind of stuff.
245
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,300
So, so that's exciting.
I think we're at the point where
246
00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:27,600
you're going Start seeing, you
know, digital Twins and relay.
247
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,800
I assistance not the, you know,
the promise that the, the Alexa
248
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,400
devices and things, you know,
we're going to be so that's one.
249
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,300
The other is, there's some
really interesting things around
250
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:44,100
forecasting AI based
forecasting, demand planning.
251
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,300
And so, you know, I think the,
the analysis side of AI which
252
00:14:49,300 --> 00:14:51,500
hasn't been talked about as much
because, you know, there's a lot
253
00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:54,600
of news around self-driving cars
and image recognition.
254
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,800
Sharon and we cover a lot in
document capture and some of
255
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,200
those kind of traditional back
office, finance-related use
256
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,300
cases.
But this is really interesting,
257
00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:09,000
you know, new opportunities to
in the analysis side of things
258
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,700
around supply chain and the
medical field.
259
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,400
So that's that's that's
exciting.
260
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:19,900
And then you know they'll third
I would mention is again a lot
261
00:15:19,900 --> 00:15:22,900
of the automation AI at least
that we cover on our network is
262
00:15:22,900 --> 00:15:26,000
been really focused on
Operations, but there's some
263
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,400
really Innovative things
happening and you see it in chat
264
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:34,800
GPT in customer-facing.
Customer experience, Centric AI.
265
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,700
Where again this Paradigm of
people led customer experience
266
00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:42,900
is going to change.
The reason it hasn't changed to
267
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:46,200
too much is because people tend
to hate chat Bots that are based
268
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,200
on, you know, decision trees and
they're not really that smart
269
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,800
and you end up wasting a lot of
time and then happen to speak to
270
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,500
a person.
Anywhere, you wish wasted a half
271
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:55,000
an hour chatting with this.
Saying.
272
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,700
But as these things become
really actually intelligent and
273
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:03,700
actually can execute
transactions and things the
274
00:16:03,700 --> 00:16:05,800
customer experience changes as
well.
275
00:16:06,300 --> 00:16:09,100
Yeah.
And I think one, if you allow me
276
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:12,200
to add one company, who's
leading the way with what they
277
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:17,800
showed us, as Microsoft with the
copilot approach they brought
278
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,500
and I just watched in the
morning, you know, what they are
279
00:16:21,508 --> 00:16:24,200
doing with cybersecurity and
they talked about that the next
280
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,000
iteration.
Even as you said it's like the
281
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,900
language model that could
somehow.
282
00:16:29,900 --> 00:16:32,200
I'm not sure how they're going
to do it, but they're going to
283
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:37,000
be able to read your own data
without leaving your your
284
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,600
premises, right.
And then build on that, you
285
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,500
know, all the features that you
can see today with Chad GPT.
286
00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:46,300
So I think this is very, very
interesting.
287
00:16:46,300 --> 00:16:48,900
So I like also The Branding
co-pilot.
288
00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:52,500
I think Microsoft they did good
job in in The Branding part and
289
00:16:52,700 --> 00:16:54,500
letting people not be afraid
actually.
290
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,700
Oh, I like I'm a co-pilot with
you.
291
00:16:56,700 --> 00:17:00,200
I'm not just pushing you out, so
I think it's good.
292
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,300
But what do you think are like
from out?
293
00:17:03,300 --> 00:17:08,500
Say we know that, you know, this
models can be biased like where
294
00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:13,099
do you see you know, the other
risks and implementing a i at
295
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:16,300
corporate world outside?
Yeah.
296
00:17:16,300 --> 00:17:19,500
I mean the thing is that, you
know they're there.
297
00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:22,400
What are the challenges is?
That black box thing I mentioned
298
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,400
before, right?
So there's this scenarios.
299
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:27,000
Where, you know, and I think
Microsoft was one of the
300
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,600
examples where there was a tech
writer, who, you know, got into
301
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,600
a very odd conversation with the
with the, with the chat Bots and
302
00:17:36,100 --> 00:17:39,100
and Microsoft could even explain
why it happened, right?
303
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:43,300
And so you have things like that
where you know, there could be
304
00:17:43,300 --> 00:17:46,400
security issues that could be
cybersecurity issues.
305
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,500
There could be as you mentioned
bias issues, you know, at least
306
00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:53,400
right now and the reason why I'm
excited about what you know
307
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,000
things like what you're talking
about Where we take that
308
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,600
application, but we put it
within our own, you know, data,
309
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:05,000
and and lives is that, you know,
the current scenario and this
310
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,700
kind of Google's doing this, AI
powered, search and beings doing
311
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:12,500
this, is that it's still pulling
data from the internet, right?
312
00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:16,800
So, you know, at least right
now, hopefully a somewhat
313
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,300
educated person looks at their
Google search results and says
314
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,300
that's a credible Source.
That's not a credible Source,
315
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:25,300
right?
That's Kind of the issue with
316
00:18:25,300 --> 00:18:29,600
social media right is that
people tend to, you know,
317
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:34,900
promote and and and things tend
to go viral that are not
318
00:18:34,900 --> 00:18:37,800
necessarily true because people
aren't doing the work of going
319
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,500
back to the source that'll gets
worse with aii, right?
320
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:44,400
If you start trusting your, at
your chatbot, whatever, the
321
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,600
interface is to give you the
right answer to a question
322
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,700
without knowing its it's where
it's sourced.
323
00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:53,500
The information that can get
dangerous, very quickly, I
324
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:57,000
noticed on the Bings, The Bing
version, they actually give you
325
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,600
their sources on the bottom,
which is kind of interesting.
326
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,800
I know chechi PT is not doing
that but you know it gets to a
327
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,300
point where you do.
We get to a point in society
328
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:12,300
where we just trust the answer
and don't actually try to figure
329
00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:16,200
out where it came from and then
you have you have the business
330
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,300
model thing actually have my
podcast later today as well.
331
00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:21,700
And, you know, we're talking
about regulation, we're talking
332
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:27,500
about the regulation of tech and
Ai and I'm typically very much a
333
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:32,100
let Tech btech kind of guy but I
am kind of concerned about the
334
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,400
lack of Regulation you know, in
the space because you know the
335
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,900
motive is just like in the
social media world and the tech
336
00:19:38,900 --> 00:19:42,300
world as a whole you know the
motives have been advertising
337
00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:45,700
driven and so and and
subscription-based subscription
338
00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:47,600
driven.
So if there's no checks and
339
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,800
balances there, you know, what
incentive do these companies?
340
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,500
Have to give you the right
answer versus giving you the
341
00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:57,200
That's most profitable for them.
Yeah.
342
00:19:58,100 --> 00:20:01,400
Then you mentioned something
about forecasting and sales and
343
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,200
I have also like I work in sales
for quite some time.
344
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,300
So how do you see?
You know, you know, the role of
345
00:20:07,300 --> 00:20:12,400
Marketing sales changing in the
context of all, this new
346
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,000
technology is like generative Ai
and you know with whatever you
347
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,400
want to attach to it from other
digital Technologies.
348
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,500
Yeah you know your marketing and
sales is Probably the most
349
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:29,100
immediately affected by at least
of the current generative, a
350
00:20:29,100 --> 00:20:32,800
ichat CPT and things.
You know I was talking about it
351
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,400
for a while and then I started
playing with it myself.
352
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,800
I had a I had to write a
promotion for a new coaching
353
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,400
service.
We're offering automation
354
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,300
coaching service that were that
we're launching and I kept
355
00:20:44,300 --> 00:20:47,100
putting it off because I was
busy and I didn't have that time
356
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:51,000
to really get into a creative
Zone and write this, this the
357
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,800
sales promotion and then I said,
hey, what am I doing?
358
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,500
I gotta I gotta Practice what I
preach here and try this thing
359
00:20:57,500 --> 00:20:59,800
out.
And in 35 seconds, I had three
360
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:05,300
promos for LinkedIn posts at had
to do maybe 10 minutes of
361
00:21:05,300 --> 00:21:09,200
editing, and I was ready to go.
And so that, that, you know, on
362
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,900
its own is siloed, right?
I did that, you know, separately
363
00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:15,900
from my work environment, and
then copy and paste it in and
364
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:19,000
put it into all my platforms.
But, you know, it's not too
365
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,600
far-fetched.
And you see a lot of these
366
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,700
Integrations already happening,
where I won't even have to leave
367
00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:26,300
my No officer.
I won't have to leave my email
368
00:21:26,300 --> 00:21:29,500
platform.
Some of the, we do a lot of
369
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:32,600
sales and marketing Outreach for
people that are targeting you
370
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,100
Automation, and Ai and digital
transformation Centric
371
00:21:36,100 --> 00:21:38,800
companies.
And we're actually looking at
372
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,300
some some, some technology now
that automates the entire sales
373
00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:46,800
process from finding the lead
reaching out to the lead
374
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,500
multiple channels, email,
LinkedIn text messages.
375
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,000
I mean, it basically does
obviously gets the We're books
376
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,300
the call for you.
So it's taking over a lot of the
377
00:21:59,300 --> 00:22:03,400
sales process and, and actually,
writing emails that are better
378
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,800
than most people.
Yeah, I tried this features by
379
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:11,300
the way, like, writing emails
and it's pretty much good.
380
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:14,700
I would say.
So what I have done is just for
381
00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:17,300
the sake of playing, I don't
know if I can release it or not.
382
00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:21,600
So, I just used some no coat
tools, I integrated with open
383
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,400
a.i.
And then, you know, like I have
384
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,700
like ready.
Oops.
385
00:22:24,700 --> 00:22:27,900
Now so, for example, I say, I
need a sales promotion or
386
00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:33,500
campaign targeting banking
industry and I want one, two,
387
00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:36,000
three.
And then, you know, like it just
388
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,500
give me the wrong.
I tried couple of times the
389
00:22:38,500 --> 00:22:41,800
email.
It's mind-blowing and sometimes,
390
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,800
you know, chat GPT because it
has the knowledge up to 20 21.
391
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,000
If I'm not mistaken and anything
that up-to-date to dive into
392
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,800
that cut off, it's very good,
it's very good.
393
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,000
That's and that's and that's and
that's that's based on it now,
394
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,700
right?
I imagine a scenario where it
395
00:23:00,700 --> 00:23:03,500
has all the history of every
email you've ever sent.
396
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,000
Yeah.
And what your database looks
397
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,900
like and what your target
audience looks like and then can
398
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:09,800
search the web for the top
Google search.
399
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,300
Arms and expose all that data
together to create a truly
400
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,700
customized, you know, Outreach
and, you know in the world of
401
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:19,800
marketing and sales.
The big thing for a while has
402
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,100
been kind of this this idea of
mass personalization, right?
403
00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:27,300
Of being able to personalize and
Outreach and say, here's what I
404
00:23:27,308 --> 00:23:29,300
think.
You should care about what I
405
00:23:29,308 --> 00:23:32,300
think you care about based on
your your LinkedIn profile or
406
00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:36,000
what I know about you.
This thing does that on
407
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,700
steroids.
Thanks, I'm just like him too.
408
00:23:39,900 --> 00:23:43,900
My mind, maybe the next SD
auteur bdr would be a I am not
409
00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:46,800
sure like it's just food for
thought.
410
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,700
Yeah, we have we have a, you
know, a team of sdrs and be DRS
411
00:23:51,700 --> 00:23:55,200
that do Outreach for, you know,
B to B Tech clients.
412
00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:01,800
And you know, it's always been a
challenge because you know most
413
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,300
people that do sales sdrs btr's
or just sales in general, the
414
00:24:05,500 --> 00:24:08,700
misconception is that they're
good at say all of sales, right?
415
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:12,400
The reality is sales Is is
prospecting its lead generation,
416
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,300
it's its meaning.
If you doing meetings, it's
417
00:24:15,300 --> 00:24:19,400
qualifying, it's doing demos.
And then it's, you know,
418
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,700
nurturing and negotiating and
closing.
419
00:24:21,900 --> 00:24:24,500
That's not the same skillset
it's very unlikely that one
420
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:25,800
person is going to be able to do
that.
421
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,600
So so sdrs that are actually
really good at talking and
422
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,700
booking meetings are typically
not as good at writing emails or
423
00:24:33,700 --> 00:24:37,100
at least automating emails and
doing things systematically and
424
00:24:37,300 --> 00:24:40,700
putting information in a CRM.
So You know, we're actually
425
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:43,900
working on, you know, a solution
where, you know, the SDR is and
426
00:24:43,900 --> 00:24:45,400
the bdr.
They don't do have to do any of
427
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,900
that, they just do what they're
good at and the rest of the
428
00:24:47,900 --> 00:24:51,400
process is done for them.
And so they spend, again, a good
429
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,000
example of, they spend their
time doing what they're good at,
430
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,700
and what they, like doing
instead of the other 80% of junk
431
00:24:58,700 --> 00:25:03,100
that they have to do now, that
would be great to see, I would
432
00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:08,200
say, like, focusing on, as you
said building the, you know,
433
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,500
relationship with the customer,
We know like talking to them.
434
00:25:12,700 --> 00:25:17,100
I see this is more beneficial.
Just I have still two questions
435
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:21,600
for you than that other than a I
like you mentioned digital
436
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,900
twins.
So how do you see for example,
437
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,800
maybe a merge between.
Also this Technologies with
438
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,800
something like blockchain iot,
you know, black.
439
00:25:30,900 --> 00:25:33,700
Can you see something like
happening in that space?
440
00:25:34,100 --> 00:25:40,600
In addition to the AI in the
Enterprise area, Yeah, I mean,
441
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,100
it's finally, at a point where,
you know, we used to have this
442
00:25:44,100 --> 00:25:47,200
term years ago, digital
convergence, and it was, it was
443
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,300
kind of like this, this fantasy
futuristic term, but I really
444
00:25:51,300 --> 00:25:53,400
think it's going to happen in
the next couple years now that
445
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,600
you have stuff like generative
Ai and some of the other pieces
446
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,300
in place around, you know,
everything's cloud-based in the
447
00:26:00,300 --> 00:26:03,700
compute power, and, and those
sorts of things and now you
448
00:26:03,700 --> 00:26:05,400
have, you know, like you say the
blockchain.
449
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,400
I mean, there's a lot of
scrutiny and criticism right now
450
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,700
about crypto, Lefties and the
metaverse and things like that,
451
00:26:12,700 --> 00:26:17,100
but the reality is that, you
know, people are living more and
452
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:20,800
more of their lives in a
virtual, you know,
453
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,700
internet-based World.
Whatever you want to call,
454
00:26:22,700 --> 00:26:25,500
whether you call it the
metaverse or, you know, the, you
455
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:29,600
know, the kids these days
already have a term to, to not
456
00:26:29,700 --> 00:26:33,400
to not reference the metaverse,
or the virtual world but to
457
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,500
reverence the real world they
say IRL in real life to denote
458
00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:39,700
the fact that it's happening in
the physical world.
459
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,700
Old and not in the in the in the
virtual world.
460
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,400
So that Paradigm has already
shifted from Anna from a
461
00:26:46,408 --> 00:26:52,400
generational standpoint and so
you know the idea of all these
462
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,700
Technologies working together to
create, you know, again this
463
00:26:55,700 --> 00:26:59,400
this assisting order digital
twin that can be your copilot or
464
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,800
even execute things on your
behalf is not that far-fetched,
465
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,600
you add things like blockchain
to it.
466
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:09,700
Where, you know, you you get
away from the the middlemen of
467
00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:13,100
Ever, it is Banks or other
institutions.
468
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:17,700
And you know this thing has
access to, you know, your wallet
469
00:27:17,700 --> 00:27:22,600
and your preferences and your
accounts and even learns what
470
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,100
your you know, what you, what
you would do in certain
471
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:27,500
situations.
And you get to a point where,
472
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,900
you know, maybe we're all not
just, you know, you know, living
473
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:35,800
to work or working to live.
But, you know, we just get to
474
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,700
get to the point where we just,
you know, we put these things on
475
00:27:39,900 --> 00:27:43,500
I love the autopilot thing or
autopilot, you know, vernacular
476
00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:46,200
because that's really where I
think it goes.
477
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,500
Yeah.
Finally question for you than
478
00:27:49,500 --> 00:27:54,900
like, you know, final advice you
can give to Enterprises as you
479
00:27:54,908 --> 00:27:59,700
know, different sizes says and
where they can find more about
480
00:27:59,700 --> 00:28:02,700
like your business, your
Institute and your podcast?
481
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:08,800
Yeah, my advice is if you if
you've already started changing
482
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,600
your business model, And
transforming, you know,
483
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,100
accelerate it and if you haven't
get going because you're behind,
484
00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:19,900
right?
So, you know, I know there's I
485
00:28:19,900 --> 00:28:25,700
know it's hard, but it's not a,
it's not optional at this point,
486
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,700
you know, if you and I the other
thing I would say is, you know,
487
00:28:29,700 --> 00:28:32,900
be customer Centric and there's
so many people that I speak to
488
00:28:32,900 --> 00:28:36,200
that, you know, get caught up in
their policies and their rules.
489
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,600
And the way things are done
today or they way, they things
490
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,100
were done yesterday.
Or the limitations of the
491
00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:44,300
technology stack that they're
using the customer doesn't care
492
00:28:44,300 --> 00:28:46,900
about any of that.
At the end of the day, the
493
00:28:46,900 --> 00:28:49,800
customer will leave you in a
second.
494
00:28:50,100 --> 00:28:53,100
Even if you're a big brand now,
we're learning right, except
495
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:55,900
except in the banking space
where people were going to small
496
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:57,300
Banks.
And now they're going back to
497
00:28:57,300 --> 00:29:00,100
Big Banks because they don't
trust the small Banks as much
498
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:02,200
now.
But other than that space
499
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,800
people, people are moving on to
lesser known Brands who give
500
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,000
them a better experience versus
the big Brands.
501
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,900
So, You got to do it, do the
change management, do the work,
502
00:29:12,900 --> 00:29:14,700
and then, and then find people
that can kind of help you
503
00:29:14,708 --> 00:29:17,800
through the process, find people
that, you know, have done it,
504
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,100
you know, what's great about,
you know, you know, our
505
00:29:21,100 --> 00:29:23,600
organization just based on
feedback from Members is that
506
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,400
there's always somebody who's,
you know, further along than you
507
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,400
would have been, you know, been
through some of these things.
508
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,800
And then, as always, people kind
of behind you that are looking
509
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,600
to learn.
And so, we've tried to kind of
510
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,500
create this ecosystem where, you
know, people can get advice.
511
00:29:37,500 --> 00:29:41,700
Not only from, you know,
Top-notch, subject matter
512
00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:45,300
experts and, and coaches, and
advisors, but from each other
513
00:29:45,500 --> 00:29:48,700
and learn from, you know, others
who have actually done these
514
00:29:48,700 --> 00:29:51,100
things actually had these
problems.
515
00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:53,900
What obstacles, they hit what
their, what their issues that
516
00:29:53,900 --> 00:29:55,200
they had.
A hump said, they had to
517
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,400
overcome were and so, yeah, I
mean we're available.
518
00:29:58,700 --> 00:30:02,400
Like I said, to, we have two
organizations are PA.
519
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:07,200
I.com is the association for
robotic process automation,
520
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,000
software, automation, AI.
Then for kind of all other
521
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,900
things, digital transformation
related, its digital Enterprise
522
00:30:14,900 --> 00:30:18,900
Institute.com, membership is
free, and you'll start getting
523
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,600
all of our content and best
practices and things, good.
524
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,600
I would be sharing these things
in the episode description.
525
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:30,900
Well done, thank you very much

Hello, and welcome to a new
episode of the CTO show with.
2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,500
Matt Matt my name is Matt Matt
and I share daily news about
3
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,200
latest trends in Tech and
Entrepreneurship.
4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,300
I discussed topics like digital
transformation emerging
5
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:24,800
technology cyber security, and
startups and Entrepreneurship.
6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,400
In general, as, you know,
sometimes I host also thought
7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,500
leaders, innovators and
entrepreneurs, Ears to hear from
8
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:36,900
their expertise about wide range
of Industries and how they are
9
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:40,000
driving change and making an
impact in the world of tech and
10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,700
business.
And today I am very pleased to
11
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:46,800
have with me Dan good time.
Dan, thank you for joining me
12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,100
today.
Can you just introduce yourself
13
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:51,400
and what you do?
Yeah.
14
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,000
My pleasure.
Thanks for having me.
15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:58,100
So I run to professional
associations, focused on the
16
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:02,100
Automation and AI space as well
as The broader kind of digital
17
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:05,900
Enterprise transformation space.
We have over a hundred and
18
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:09,700
thirty thousand members
worldwide all coming to us for
19
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:14,900
Education, networking advice and
coaching around these topics.
20
00:01:14,900 --> 00:01:19,100
And so I'm fortunate the sense
that I get to spend half my day
21
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:22,000
speaking to clients about what
they're working on and what
22
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,100
their challenges are, and the
other half of my day, speaking
23
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:28,200
to the vendor and provider
Community about their
24
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,000
capabilities.
So it's It's been fun,
25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,600
especially the last last couple
of years with all the
26
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,300
technological advances
happening.
27
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,000
Whoa, this is like a spot on
because the first thing I wanted
28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,100
to ask you like what do you see
as the most significant current
29
00:01:43,100 --> 00:01:46,400
Tech Trends and how they are
impacting both, you know, the
30
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,300
customers or consumers and you
know that the providers at the
31
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:53,100
same time?
Yeah, I mean you don't have to
32
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:58,100
go too far in the news to see
all the the talk around chat GPT
33
00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:00,900
and generative AI.
So that's that's definitely The
34
00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:05,300
hot thing right now you know AI
is not new as most of the folks
35
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,400
you know watch you know.
It's definitely a accelerated in
36
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,400
recent years but you know in
recent months with this this new
37
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,800
access that the generative AI is
providing and I think you know
38
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,500
what's different is for you know
for a while it became a I was
39
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:27,900
this kind of nebulous thing that
required five years and five
40
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:31,000
billion dollars of our D.
If a company wanted To, you
41
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,400
know, really implemented and
then you had sort of, you know,
42
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,800
kind of Point solution or you
know, very narrow AI solutions
43
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,800
that that are part of our daily
lives.
44
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,800
Some people realize it.
Some people don't even realize
45
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,400
it's under the hood of some of
the technologies that they use
46
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,700
but what's different.
Now is that this this chechi PT
47
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:52,500
and now barred and some of the
others that are coming out, it's
48
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:56,000
really democratizing AI to a
point where your any individual
49
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,700
can access it.
Play with it and start seeing
50
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:00,300
the benefits instead of it being
this.
51
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,500
This black box a I think that
it's been for many years.
52
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:07,500
Yeah, I think I am calling it
like similar to what the
53
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:10,100
internet was, right?
That was like the DARPA net
54
00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:13,800
before and it was just like for
universities and for like
55
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,000
security and Defence and then
all of a sudden, you know, it
56
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,200
became public and everyone you
know, with just a phone line was
57
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,800
able to get to the Internet.
So this is exactly, you know,
58
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,400
that you use the right.
I would say expression for that.
59
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:32,200
Now, with all these talks,
About, you know, specially AI
60
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,100
generative AI.
I just heard a I just shared a
61
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,700
an episode and I was just
mentioning about you know,
62
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:45,100
what's the future like?
And I'm reading a lot of mixed
63
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:48,300
you know comments from different
people.
64
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:50,800
You see the people who are
pessimistic.
65
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,300
You see the people who are very
optimistic.
66
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,300
So what do you think?
You know, these Trends including
67
00:03:56,300 --> 00:03:59,600
generatively.
I are shaping the future of four
68
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,900
and you know what do you think
we're going to see in the coming
69
00:04:02,900 --> 00:04:05,200
years?
Yeah.
70
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,600
Yeah I think I think we're at
the point where we're going to
71
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,400
start seeing LeapFrog type of
events, right?
72
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,400
Where, you know, organizations
may have been investing in
73
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,700
technology incrementally and
didn't get really, you know, to
74
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:22,800
hurt or fall too far behind if
they weren't innovating but I
75
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,200
think you have kind of The
Perfect Storm of a couple things
76
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:25,800
right now.
Right.
77
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:31,400
And the first is this, you know,
post pandemic era of people that
78
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:34,800
you know don't don't necessarily
want to be in an Office that,
79
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,800
you know, more selective about
the jobs that they take are more
80
00:04:39,900 --> 00:04:43,400
looking for the better term.
We used to use was work-life
81
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,200
balance, but that's actually
really happening now.
82
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:50,700
And then you enter something
like this, this AI aspect where
83
00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:55,300
it really changes the way jobs
are being done.
84
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:59,200
And so, you know, I think that
for the organizations that have
85
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:04,200
not innovated, you know, their
time is limited, if they Start
86
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,800
really really quickly because
now it's just going to go
87
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,100
exponentially.
The gaps are going to are going
88
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:15,300
to increase exponentially and
you know from a job standpoint
89
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:20,500
you know my the the quote that I
saw you know, maybe a month ago
90
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:22,600
which I which I really liked.
I thought some that up pretty
91
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,400
well is that, you know, AI is
not going to take your job.
92
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,900
Someone who knows how to
implement AI is going to take
93
00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:31,700
your job.
The reality is AI is going to
94
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:33,800
take your job but not probably
our Job.
95
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,700
Not my job, your job today.
Probably our kids jobs.
96
00:05:37,700 --> 00:05:40,700
And that's, and that, you know,
as this thing becomes, you know,
97
00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:45,000
more and more accelerated, it
will get to that point but we're
98
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,300
just, we're just not at that
point, yet.
99
00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:48,900
We still need people to
implement it.
100
00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:51,900
And so the advice I give people
who are kind of freaking out
101
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:55,700
right now is, you know, which
was always my advice, but it's
102
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:58,700
even more important.
Now is, you know, learn these
103
00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:01,300
Technologies, learn how to be
useful, you learn how to
104
00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:07,500
increase the Of your service or
your you know, your individual
105
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:10,800
skill set, using these tools
because that's going to become a
106
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,300
differentiator.
Yeah 100%.
107
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:16,400
I'm just when I repeat, I'm
repeating myself because I
108
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,000
thought I shared this, the guy's
a I will not come and kill you,
109
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,800
right?
Like it's just a large language
110
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,800
model and you are the trigger
for it, so don't be scared of
111
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,700
it.
And in my opinion that I also I
112
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:33,600
shared yesterday and I'm sharing
all the time online.
113
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:38,800
And then, on other social media,
I'm saying that maybe this is a
114
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,000
moment where we are redefining
actually the definition of a
115
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,800
job, right?
Because maybe you, you don't
116
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,900
have to work like five days a
week and the pandemic, you know,
117
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:52,900
like came into the place and
showed us many things, speaking
118
00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:55,800
of the pandemic and all the
changes and how organizations
119
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,400
should, you know, keep
innovating, one of the areas
120
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,800
that I know Daniel.
You also work on its digital The
121
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,100
transformation like it is like
kind of a buzzword, but it's not
122
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:11,000
a buzzword.
So can you explain what it means
123
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,500
in real practical terms?
And I know like this is a
124
00:07:13,508 --> 00:07:16,400
repetitive question but I like
to hit different opinions.
125
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:18,200
Yeah.
And why do you think it's
126
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:23,400
important for businesses?
Now, in this moment to undergo
127
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:28,600
into this digital transformation
Yeah, I think for me, you know,
128
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,100
there's a, there's a big
difference that people kind of
129
00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:35,200
glazed over between digitization
and digital transformation.
130
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,000
It's the transformation part
that people kind of, kind of
131
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
forget, right?
And so, you know, to me digital
132
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,100
transformation is is changing
the way the organization
133
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:50,100
operates for the digital age,
not just digitizing a bunch of
134
00:07:50,100 --> 00:07:55,900
analog or paper stuff and doing
the same process, the It was
135
00:07:55,900 --> 00:07:59,500
before the business models have
been changing for a long time.
136
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:02,900
You know, I remember being at
the first event that we ever did
137
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:07,600
that we use the words digital
transformation and I remember a
138
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,100
banking executive coming up to
me afterwards and asking, you
139
00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:13,400
know, about, you know, some of
the stuff at the event and I
140
00:08:13,408 --> 00:08:15,200
said, what did you think?
And he said, you know, this is
141
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,300
all nice and dandy but I've got
a job to do today.
142
00:08:18,300 --> 00:08:22,200
I can't worry about tomorrow or
that's pre-pandemic and things
143
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,000
right now.
You fast forward.
144
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,000
The companies that are Changing
the way they do things are
145
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,500
dying, right?
I mean I mean the the pandemic
146
00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:35,799
kind of accelerated the
inevitable and you know the AI
147
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:39,100
now I think is going to even do
even do more towards that.
148
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:42,900
I mean you look around you see
some of the traditional you
149
00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:45,600
know, box stores and things.
They're either going out of
150
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,800
business or being sold for
pennies on the dollar because
151
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,000
they just relied on an in-person
model people coming into stores.
152
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000
People doing things, the The way
that they used to do things.
153
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,400
And so, you know, even some of
the more Innovative companies
154
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,800
struggled with, you know, the
remote Workforce thing and and
155
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,900
and and and interacting with
clients in a virtual world.
156
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:12,700
Right?
And so you know, it's a matter
157
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:15,100
of, you know, Survivor don't
survive.
158
00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:18,900
I think it's that that drastic
and as I alluded to before for
159
00:09:18,900 --> 00:09:21,700
the organizations that that
haven't started yet, maybe this
160
00:09:21,700 --> 00:09:25,200
AI stuff is a is an opportunity
to kind of catch.
161
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,700
CH back up.
Yeah, but your customers are not
162
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:32,300
buying the way they used to be.
Used to Brand loyalty is at an
163
00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:34,900
all-time low people.
Want convenience, people want
164
00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:37,400
experience.
People are not going to put up
165
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:43,300
with the rules and bureaucracy
that they did in 2019.
166
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,800
And so if you're not set up to
deal with that or even thrive in
167
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,800
that environment, you're going
to lose.
168
00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:56,500
Yeah, but sometimes I heard from
different people.
169
00:09:56,500 --> 00:09:59,300
Yeah, we want to go to this
journey, right?
170
00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:01,700
But we are facing some
obstacles.
171
00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:04,400
Like, what are the obstacles?
Usually, from your side, you are
172
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,600
hearing or challenges that
companies.
173
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,100
They are, you know, facing
during this transformation
174
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:12,100
journey.
And what's your advice to
175
00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:16,700
overcome these obstacles?
Yeah, my advice is to stop being
176
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:19,100
delusional.
Some of these organizations live
177
00:10:19,100 --> 00:10:22,400
in this, this, this, this, this
world where they have blinders
178
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,200
on, and they think that things
are always going to be the same
179
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,000
and not change.
And for a while it was, hey,
180
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,900
things are going to change now,
it's everything's changing
181
00:10:30,900 --> 00:10:35,400
around you, you know, I think
it's not a technology challenge.
182
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,700
It's a, it's a change management
challenge.
183
00:10:37,700 --> 00:10:41,500
It's a culture challenge.
It's a challenge in the way that
184
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,400
many of the the Legacy Centric
organizations were built.
185
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,700
The reason why you know the born
digital companies are succeeding
186
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:53,400
is not just because of Tech in
the data it's because they can
187
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,200
move faster.
It's because they understand
188
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,700
that the business model isn't
what it used to be and they
189
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:01,900
don't have as big a ship to turn
the traditional companies have
190
00:11:01,900 --> 00:11:06,700
to figure out how to turn that
ship because the old models
191
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:09,900
aren't going to work.
And so I think I think a lot of
192
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:17,700
it is, you know, at a sea level,
having the direction to say
193
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,700
we're not going to do things,
the way that we used to do
194
00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:23,300
things, we have to To move
faster we have to be less
195
00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:28,100
bureaucratic and and also
something I've talked a lot
196
00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:31,100
about is I think the incentives
need to change, right?
197
00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:35,300
People in large corporations are
incented to be conservative
198
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,900
because their fear, they fear
losing their job if they make a
199
00:11:39,908 --> 00:11:43,000
mistake, right?
But there's no incentive for or
200
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,100
D sensitive for doing keeping
the status quo.
201
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,400
So I think that Paradigm needs
to shift, I think organizations
202
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,600
need to start in sending people
to To take risks and innovate
203
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,300
like you've seen a little bit of
the fail, fast culture of the
204
00:11:55,300 --> 00:12:00,200
tech space, you know, and send
people to actually change things
205
00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:04,900
and he sent them from, you know,
just keeping the thing.
206
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,800
You keep the status quo that
ultimately will lead to the
207
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:13,900
demise of the the organization.
Yeah, I think to, you know, add
208
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:17,400
to what you said.
Dad, I believe organizations the
209
00:12:17,408 --> 00:12:20,500
number one thing, they need to
change the culture and this
210
00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:22,700
culture.
I'm calling it, bring the
211
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:26,100
startup culture during the
garage culture to your to your
212
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:30,400
organization like otherwise.
Like if you keep as you said
213
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,600
following these bureaucratic
processes, it's not a
214
00:12:34,608 --> 00:12:37,200
transformation.
It's a maybe digitization at the
215
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:42,100
most and you will not get any
benefit out of it, now, back to,
216
00:12:42,100 --> 00:12:46,800
to little bit of AI and because
this a help topic, what are the
217
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,300
most exciting or promising
applications of AI you are
218
00:12:50,300 --> 00:12:53,100
seeing in the Surprised and how
you are seeing, you know, the
219
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:59,200
future in this area.
Yeah, you know, you know, on the
220
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,100
generative AI stuff, you know,
people very excited because it's
221
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:04,600
the first time they've seen a
lot of these capabilities
222
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,200
directly.
I'm not, I'm not quite as
223
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,500
excited because I've seen some
of these things, you know over
224
00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:12,500
the last couple years.
But what I am excited about is
225
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:17,000
the next iteration you know
right now you know you put your
226
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,500
information and you know you
prompts into these things and
227
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:23,000
they're giving you kind of
general information scrape from
228
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,600
the web right from their
training data.
229
00:13:24,700 --> 00:13:26,300
Too.
But imagine that the next
230
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:29,600
iteration of that within your
organization where they
231
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,800
understand, who you are, they
understand, what your, what your
232
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,600
job is they understood they have
access to your, your databases
233
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,700
and and can learn.
And so, you know, this idea of a
234
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:50,100
digital AI assistant or digital
twin or just, you know, we used
235
00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:52,600
to say in the automation, you
know, a bot for every employee
236
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,200
that can be very, very powerful.
And also, So allow people, you
237
00:13:57,208 --> 00:13:59,300
know, take away the fear, a
little bit of this is going to
238
00:13:59,300 --> 00:14:02,100
take my job and make it more of
an enablement thing where it
239
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:04,900
actually makes your job better
and makes you more productive at
240
00:14:04,900 --> 00:14:06,500
your job.
Makes you actually want to go to
241
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:09,600
work every day because you know,
the Bots and the Automation and
242
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,800
the AI is doing a lot of the
grunt work for you and you can
243
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,200
do kind of deeper work thinking
kind of work real real knowledge
244
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,400
work instead of the the the
monotonous kind of stuff.
245
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,300
So, so that's exciting.
I think we're at the point where
246
00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:27,600
you're going Start seeing, you
know, digital Twins and relay.
247
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,800
I assistance not the, you know,
the promise that the, the Alexa
248
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,400
devices and things, you know,
we're going to be so that's one.
249
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,300
The other is, there's some
really interesting things around
250
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:44,100
forecasting AI based
forecasting, demand planning.
251
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,300
And so, you know, I think the,
the analysis side of AI which
252
00:14:49,300 --> 00:14:51,500
hasn't been talked about as much
because, you know, there's a lot
253
00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:54,600
of news around self-driving cars
and image recognition.
254
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,800
Sharon and we cover a lot in
document capture and some of
255
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,200
those kind of traditional back
office, finance-related use
256
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,300
cases.
But this is really interesting,
257
00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:09,000
you know, new opportunities to
in the analysis side of things
258
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,700
around supply chain and the
medical field.
259
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,400
So that's that's that's
exciting.
260
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:19,900
And then you know they'll third
I would mention is again a lot
261
00:15:19,900 --> 00:15:22,900
of the automation AI at least
that we cover on our network is
262
00:15:22,900 --> 00:15:26,000
been really focused on
Operations, but there's some
263
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,400
really Innovative things
happening and you see it in chat
264
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:34,800
GPT in customer-facing.
Customer experience, Centric AI.
265
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,700
Where again this Paradigm of
people led customer experience
266
00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:42,900
is going to change.
The reason it hasn't changed to
267
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:46,200
too much is because people tend
to hate chat Bots that are based
268
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,200
on, you know, decision trees and
they're not really that smart
269
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,800
and you end up wasting a lot of
time and then happen to speak to
270
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,500
a person.
Anywhere, you wish wasted a half
271
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:55,000
an hour chatting with this.
Saying.
272
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,700
But as these things become
really actually intelligent and
273
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:03,700
actually can execute
transactions and things the
274
00:16:03,700 --> 00:16:05,800
customer experience changes as
well.
275
00:16:06,300 --> 00:16:09,100
Yeah.
And I think one, if you allow me
276
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:12,200
to add one company, who's
leading the way with what they
277
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:17,800
showed us, as Microsoft with the
copilot approach they brought
278
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,500
and I just watched in the
morning, you know, what they are
279
00:16:21,508 --> 00:16:24,200
doing with cybersecurity and
they talked about that the next
280
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,000
iteration.
Even as you said it's like the
281
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,900
language model that could
somehow.
282
00:16:29,900 --> 00:16:32,200
I'm not sure how they're going
to do it, but they're going to
283
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:37,000
be able to read your own data
without leaving your your
284
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,600
premises, right.
And then build on that, you
285
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,500
know, all the features that you
can see today with Chad GPT.
286
00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:46,300
So I think this is very, very
interesting.
287
00:16:46,300 --> 00:16:48,900
So I like also The Branding
co-pilot.
288
00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:52,500
I think Microsoft they did good
job in in The Branding part and
289
00:16:52,700 --> 00:16:54,500
letting people not be afraid
actually.
290
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,700
Oh, I like I'm a co-pilot with
you.
291
00:16:56,700 --> 00:17:00,200
I'm not just pushing you out, so
I think it's good.
292
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,300
But what do you think are like
from out?
293
00:17:03,300 --> 00:17:08,500
Say we know that, you know, this
models can be biased like where
294
00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:13,099
do you see you know, the other
risks and implementing a i at
295
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:16,300
corporate world outside?
Yeah.
296
00:17:16,300 --> 00:17:19,500
I mean the thing is that, you
know they're there.
297
00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:22,400
What are the challenges is?
That black box thing I mentioned
298
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,400
before, right?
So there's this scenarios.
299
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:27,000
Where, you know, and I think
Microsoft was one of the
300
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,600
examples where there was a tech
writer, who, you know, got into
301
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,600
a very odd conversation with the
with the, with the chat Bots and
302
00:17:36,100 --> 00:17:39,100
and Microsoft could even explain
why it happened, right?
303
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:43,300
And so you have things like that
where you know, there could be
304
00:17:43,300 --> 00:17:46,400
security issues that could be
cybersecurity issues.
305
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,500
There could be as you mentioned
bias issues, you know, at least
306
00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:53,400
right now and the reason why I'm
excited about what you know
307
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,000
things like what you're talking
about Where we take that
308
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,600
application, but we put it
within our own, you know, data,
309
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:05,000
and and lives is that, you know,
the current scenario and this
310
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,700
kind of Google's doing this, AI
powered, search and beings doing
311
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:12,500
this, is that it's still pulling
data from the internet, right?
312
00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:16,800
So, you know, at least right
now, hopefully a somewhat
313
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,300
educated person looks at their
Google search results and says
314
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,300
that's a credible Source.
That's not a credible Source,
315
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:25,300
right?
That's Kind of the issue with
316
00:18:25,300 --> 00:18:29,600
social media right is that
people tend to, you know,
317
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:34,900
promote and and and things tend
to go viral that are not
318
00:18:34,900 --> 00:18:37,800
necessarily true because people
aren't doing the work of going
319
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,500
back to the source that'll gets
worse with aii, right?
320
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:44,400
If you start trusting your, at
your chatbot, whatever, the
321
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,600
interface is to give you the
right answer to a question
322
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,700
without knowing its it's where
it's sourced.
323
00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:53,500
The information that can get
dangerous, very quickly, I
324
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:57,000
noticed on the Bings, The Bing
version, they actually give you
325
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,600
their sources on the bottom,
which is kind of interesting.
326
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,800
I know chechi PT is not doing
that but you know it gets to a
327
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,300
point where you do.
We get to a point in society
328
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:12,300
where we just trust the answer
and don't actually try to figure
329
00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:16,200
out where it came from and then
you have you have the business
330
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,300
model thing actually have my
podcast later today as well.
331
00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:21,700
And, you know, we're talking
about regulation, we're talking
332
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:27,500
about the regulation of tech and
Ai and I'm typically very much a
333
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:32,100
let Tech btech kind of guy but I
am kind of concerned about the
334
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,400
lack of Regulation you know, in
the space because you know the
335
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,900
motive is just like in the
social media world and the tech
336
00:19:38,900 --> 00:19:42,300
world as a whole you know the
motives have been advertising
337
00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:45,700
driven and so and and
subscription-based subscription
338
00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:47,600
driven.
So if there's no checks and
339
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,800
balances there, you know, what
incentive do these companies?
340
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,500
Have to give you the right
answer versus giving you the
341
00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:57,200
That's most profitable for them.
Yeah.
342
00:19:58,100 --> 00:20:01,400
Then you mentioned something
about forecasting and sales and
343
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,200
I have also like I work in sales
for quite some time.
344
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,300
So how do you see?
You know, you know, the role of
345
00:20:07,300 --> 00:20:12,400
Marketing sales changing in the
context of all, this new
346
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,000
technology is like generative Ai
and you know with whatever you
347
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,400
want to attach to it from other
digital Technologies.
348
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,500
Yeah you know your marketing and
sales is Probably the most
349
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:29,100
immediately affected by at least
of the current generative, a
350
00:20:29,100 --> 00:20:32,800
ichat CPT and things.
You know I was talking about it
351
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,400
for a while and then I started
playing with it myself.
352
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,800
I had a I had to write a
promotion for a new coaching
353
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,400
service.
We're offering automation
354
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,300
coaching service that were that
we're launching and I kept
355
00:20:44,300 --> 00:20:47,100
putting it off because I was
busy and I didn't have that time
356
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:51,000
to really get into a creative
Zone and write this, this the
357
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,800
sales promotion and then I said,
hey, what am I doing?
358
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,500
I gotta I gotta Practice what I
preach here and try this thing
359
00:20:57,500 --> 00:20:59,800
out.
And in 35 seconds, I had three
360
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:05,300
promos for LinkedIn posts at had
to do maybe 10 minutes of
361
00:21:05,300 --> 00:21:09,200
editing, and I was ready to go.
And so that, that, you know, on
362
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,900
its own is siloed, right?
I did that, you know, separately
363
00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:15,900
from my work environment, and
then copy and paste it in and
364
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:19,000
put it into all my platforms.
But, you know, it's not too
365
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,600
far-fetched.
And you see a lot of these
366
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,700
Integrations already happening,
where I won't even have to leave
367
00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:26,300
my No officer.
I won't have to leave my email
368
00:21:26,300 --> 00:21:29,500
platform.
Some of the, we do a lot of
369
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:32,600
sales and marketing Outreach for
people that are targeting you
370
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,100
Automation, and Ai and digital
transformation Centric
371
00:21:36,100 --> 00:21:38,800
companies.
And we're actually looking at
372
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,300
some some, some technology now
that automates the entire sales
373
00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:46,800
process from finding the lead
reaching out to the lead
374
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,500
multiple channels, email,
LinkedIn text messages.
375
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,000
I mean, it basically does
obviously gets the We're books
376
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,300
the call for you.
So it's taking over a lot of the
377
00:21:59,300 --> 00:22:03,400
sales process and, and actually,
writing emails that are better
378
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,800
than most people.
Yeah, I tried this features by
379
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:11,300
the way, like, writing emails
and it's pretty much good.
380
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:14,700
I would say.
So what I have done is just for
381
00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:17,300
the sake of playing, I don't
know if I can release it or not.
382
00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:21,600
So, I just used some no coat
tools, I integrated with open
383
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,400
a.i.
And then, you know, like I have
384
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,700
like ready.
Oops.
385
00:22:24,700 --> 00:22:27,900
Now so, for example, I say, I
need a sales promotion or
386
00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:33,500
campaign targeting banking
industry and I want one, two,
387
00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:36,000
three.
And then, you know, like it just
388
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,500
give me the wrong.
I tried couple of times the
389
00:22:38,500 --> 00:22:41,800
email.
It's mind-blowing and sometimes,
390
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,800
you know, chat GPT because it
has the knowledge up to 20 21.
391
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,000
If I'm not mistaken and anything
that up-to-date to dive into
392
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,800
that cut off, it's very good,
it's very good.
393
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,000
That's and that's and that's and
that's that's based on it now,
394
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,700
right?
I imagine a scenario where it
395
00:23:00,700 --> 00:23:03,500
has all the history of every
email you've ever sent.
396
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,000
Yeah.
And what your database looks
397
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,900
like and what your target
audience looks like and then can
398
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:09,800
search the web for the top
Google search.
399
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,300
Arms and expose all that data
together to create a truly
400
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,700
customized, you know, Outreach
and, you know in the world of
401
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:19,800
marketing and sales.
The big thing for a while has
402
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,100
been kind of this this idea of
mass personalization, right?
403
00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:27,300
Of being able to personalize and
Outreach and say, here's what I
404
00:23:27,308 --> 00:23:29,300
think.
You should care about what I
405
00:23:29,308 --> 00:23:32,300
think you care about based on
your your LinkedIn profile or
406
00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:36,000
what I know about you.
This thing does that on
407
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,700
steroids.
Thanks, I'm just like him too.
408
00:23:39,900 --> 00:23:43,900
My mind, maybe the next SD
auteur bdr would be a I am not
409
00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:46,800
sure like it's just food for
thought.
410
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,700
Yeah, we have we have a, you
know, a team of sdrs and be DRS
411
00:23:51,700 --> 00:23:55,200
that do Outreach for, you know,
B to B Tech clients.
412
00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:01,800
And you know, it's always been a
challenge because you know most
413
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,300
people that do sales sdrs btr's
or just sales in general, the
414
00:24:05,500 --> 00:24:08,700
misconception is that they're
good at say all of sales, right?
415
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:12,400
The reality is sales Is is
prospecting its lead generation,
416
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,300
it's its meaning.
If you doing meetings, it's
417
00:24:15,300 --> 00:24:19,400
qualifying, it's doing demos.
And then it's, you know,
418
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,700
nurturing and negotiating and
closing.
419
00:24:21,900 --> 00:24:24,500
That's not the same skillset
it's very unlikely that one
420
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:25,800
person is going to be able to do
that.
421
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,600
So so sdrs that are actually
really good at talking and
422
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,700
booking meetings are typically
not as good at writing emails or
423
00:24:33,700 --> 00:24:37,100
at least automating emails and
doing things systematically and
424
00:24:37,300 --> 00:24:40,700
putting information in a CRM.
So You know, we're actually
425
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:43,900
working on, you know, a solution
where, you know, the SDR is and
426
00:24:43,900 --> 00:24:45,400
the bdr.
They don't do have to do any of
427
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,900
that, they just do what they're
good at and the rest of the
428
00:24:47,900 --> 00:24:51,400
process is done for them.
And so they spend, again, a good
429
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,000
example of, they spend their
time doing what they're good at,
430
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,700
and what they, like doing
instead of the other 80% of junk
431
00:24:58,700 --> 00:25:03,100
that they have to do now, that
would be great to see, I would
432
00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:08,200
say, like, focusing on, as you
said building the, you know,
433
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,500
relationship with the customer,
We know like talking to them.
434
00:25:12,700 --> 00:25:17,100
I see this is more beneficial.
Just I have still two questions
435
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:21,600
for you than that other than a I
like you mentioned digital
436
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,900
twins.
So how do you see for example,
437
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,800
maybe a merge between.
Also this Technologies with
438
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,800
something like blockchain iot,
you know, black.
439
00:25:30,900 --> 00:25:33,700
Can you see something like
happening in that space?
440
00:25:34,100 --> 00:25:40,600
In addition to the AI in the
Enterprise area, Yeah, I mean,
441
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,100
it's finally, at a point where,
you know, we used to have this
442
00:25:44,100 --> 00:25:47,200
term years ago, digital
convergence, and it was, it was
443
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,300
kind of like this, this fantasy
futuristic term, but I really
444
00:25:51,300 --> 00:25:53,400
think it's going to happen in
the next couple years now that
445
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,600
you have stuff like generative
Ai and some of the other pieces
446
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,300
in place around, you know,
everything's cloud-based in the
447
00:26:00,300 --> 00:26:03,700
compute power, and, and those
sorts of things and now you
448
00:26:03,700 --> 00:26:05,400
have, you know, like you say the
blockchain.
449
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,400
I mean, there's a lot of
scrutiny and criticism right now
450
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,700
about crypto, Lefties and the
metaverse and things like that,
451
00:26:12,700 --> 00:26:17,100
but the reality is that, you
know, people are living more and
452
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:20,800
more of their lives in a
virtual, you know,
453
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,700
internet-based World.
Whatever you want to call,
454
00:26:22,700 --> 00:26:25,500
whether you call it the
metaverse or, you know, the, you
455
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:29,600
know, the kids these days
already have a term to, to not
456
00:26:29,700 --> 00:26:33,400
to not reference the metaverse,
or the virtual world but to
457
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,500
reverence the real world they
say IRL in real life to denote
458
00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:39,700
the fact that it's happening in
the physical world.
459
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,700
Old and not in the in the in the
virtual world.
460
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,400
So that Paradigm has already
shifted from Anna from a
461
00:26:46,408 --> 00:26:52,400
generational standpoint and so
you know the idea of all these
462
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,700
Technologies working together to
create, you know, again this
463
00:26:55,700 --> 00:26:59,400
this assisting order digital
twin that can be your copilot or
464
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,800
even execute things on your
behalf is not that far-fetched,
465
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,600
you add things like blockchain
to it.
466
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:09,700
Where, you know, you you get
away from the the middlemen of
467
00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:13,100
Ever, it is Banks or other
institutions.
468
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:17,700
And you know this thing has
access to, you know, your wallet
469
00:27:17,700 --> 00:27:22,600
and your preferences and your
accounts and even learns what
470
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,100
your you know, what you, what
you would do in certain
471
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:27,500
situations.
And you get to a point where,
472
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,900
you know, maybe we're all not
just, you know, you know, living
473
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:35,800
to work or working to live.
But, you know, we just get to
474
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,700
get to the point where we just,
you know, we put these things on
475
00:27:39,900 --> 00:27:43,500
I love the autopilot thing or
autopilot, you know, vernacular
476
00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:46,200
because that's really where I
think it goes.
477
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,500
Yeah.
Finally question for you than
478
00:27:49,500 --> 00:27:54,900
like, you know, final advice you
can give to Enterprises as you
479
00:27:54,908 --> 00:27:59,700
know, different sizes says and
where they can find more about
480
00:27:59,700 --> 00:28:02,700
like your business, your
Institute and your podcast?
481
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:08,800
Yeah, my advice is if you if
you've already started changing
482
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,600
your business model, And
transforming, you know,
483
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,100
accelerate it and if you haven't
get going because you're behind,
484
00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:19,900
right?
So, you know, I know there's I
485
00:28:19,900 --> 00:28:25,700
know it's hard, but it's not a,
it's not optional at this point,
486
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,700
you know, if you and I the other
thing I would say is, you know,
487
00:28:29,700 --> 00:28:32,900
be customer Centric and there's
so many people that I speak to
488
00:28:32,900 --> 00:28:36,200
that, you know, get caught up in
their policies and their rules.
489
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,600
And the way things are done
today or they way, they things
490
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,100
were done yesterday.
Or the limitations of the
491
00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:44,300
technology stack that they're
using the customer doesn't care
492
00:28:44,300 --> 00:28:46,900
about any of that.
At the end of the day, the
493
00:28:46,900 --> 00:28:49,800
customer will leave you in a
second.
494
00:28:50,100 --> 00:28:53,100
Even if you're a big brand now,
we're learning right, except
495
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:55,900
except in the banking space
where people were going to small
496
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:57,300
Banks.
And now they're going back to
497
00:28:57,300 --> 00:29:00,100
Big Banks because they don't
trust the small Banks as much
498
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:02,200
now.
But other than that space
499
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,800
people, people are moving on to
lesser known Brands who give
500
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,000
them a better experience versus
the big Brands.
501
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,900
So, You got to do it, do the
change management, do the work,
502
00:29:12,900 --> 00:29:14,700
and then, and then find people
that can kind of help you
503
00:29:14,708 --> 00:29:17,800
through the process, find people
that, you know, have done it,
504
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,100
you know, what's great about,
you know, you know, our
505
00:29:21,100 --> 00:29:23,600
organization just based on
feedback from Members is that
506
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,400
there's always somebody who's,
you know, further along than you
507
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,400
would have been, you know, been
through some of these things.
508
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,800
And then, as always, people kind
of behind you that are looking
509
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,600
to learn.
And so, we've tried to kind of
510
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,500
create this ecosystem where, you
know, people can get advice.
511
00:29:37,500 --> 00:29:41,700
Not only from, you know,
Top-notch, subject matter
512
00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:45,300
experts and, and coaches, and
advisors, but from each other
513
00:29:45,500 --> 00:29:48,700
and learn from, you know, others
who have actually done these
514
00:29:48,700 --> 00:29:51,100
things actually had these
problems.
515
00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:53,900
What obstacles, they hit what
their, what their issues that
516
00:29:53,900 --> 00:29:55,200
they had.
A hump said, they had to
517
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,400
overcome were and so, yeah, I
mean we're available.
518
00:29:58,700 --> 00:30:02,400
Like I said, to, we have two
organizations are PA.
519
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:07,200
I.com is the association for
robotic process automation,
520
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,000
software, automation, AI.
Then for kind of all other
521
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,900
things, digital transformation
related, its digital Enterprise
522
00:30:14,900 --> 00:30:18,900
Institute.com, membership is
free, and you'll start getting
523
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,600
all of our content and best
practices and things, good.
524
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,600
I would be sharing these things
in the episode description.
525
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:30,900
