#AI, especially it's generative variety, continues to rank high on the agenda of leaders and their organizations. While its impact is pervasive, it represents a particular challenge for those tasked with #developing #leaders and designing #learning architectures. The recent session of the Executive Corporate Learning Forum (ECLF) that featured Detlef Hold (Roche) and was hosted by DLQ co-publisher Roland Deiser ties nicely into the theme of our upcoming issue, which will explore various angles of what we called "#Augmented #Intelligence".

How can businesses leverage #AI to transform their operations and create new business models? It’s a new chapter of #digital #transformation that offers unprecedented capabilities in content creation, process automation, customer support and business reinvention. It also requires new skills to fully tap into its potential. Few have more insight into this impact than Eve Psalti, who is Microsoft’s Principal Group Program Manager for the AI Azure Platform. Eve and her team are working with 300+ major corporations on co-developing AI solutions that drive business performance. Session 3 of our series “Perspectives on AI” will allow members and invited guests of the Executive Corporate Learning Forum (ECLF), which include Siemens, Lufthansa, Roche, and others, engage in an intimate dialogue with Eve. I will have the pleasure to moderate this event, which will allow us a rare peek into the co-creation dynamics that shape the implementation of innovative AI solutions in complex organizations.

Do you appoint a leader when you want to arrange a night-out with friends? Or want to go on a trip? Or does someone emerge as the person making the plans for that occasion and that activity? This is how humans naturally operate - leadership revolves and so does who are the followers. The latest issue of Developing Leaders Quarterly focuses on #Followership and we are thrilled to have a range of articles introducing the concept and exploring different aspects in more depth.

Don’t you just love the global reach of virtual events? I do. With registrations from 44 countries (and counting), the audience of our upcoming CFFO/DLQ Round Table on #Innovating #Innovation promises to become the most international ever. There is still time to sign up for this free event in which I will have the pleasure to engage in an unstructured fireside chat with bestselling author and consultant Andrew Binns, Corporate VC leader Michael Nichols and The Wharton School professor Valery Yakubovich. And there is a chance for you to chime in, too: during the last third of the session we offer an open chair for selected members of the audience to join the panel for a live exchange.

We must #innovate the practice of #innovation. Corporate innovation remains one of the big challenges organizations face when they have reached a certain maturity stage and want to grow or reinvent themselves. We know that “exploiting” the present requires a different mind- and capability set as “exploring” future opportunities. How can we mitigate these conflicting rationales? How can we move beyond performing just “innovation theater” – the hackathons, pitch-me sessions, or agile sprints that remain empty exercises? You are cordially invited to another installment of the “ABC” Roundtable series of the Center for the Future of Organization, Drucker School of Management which we produce in association with our publishing partner Developing Leaders Quarterly (DLQ), whose most recent issue is dedicated to "Innovating Innovation". As always, look forward to an inspiring and thought-provoking fireside chat among outstanding thought and practice leaders who explore with me these and other questions from the angle of Academia (A), Business (B), and Consulting (C). They are: -- Valery Yakubovich, professor at The Wharton School and Executive Director of the Mack Institute for Innovation Management (the "A") -- Michael Nichols, who heads the Corporate Venturing activities at MANN+HUMMEL and served previously in a similar role at Bosch (the "B") -- Andrew Binns, Co-founder of the innovation-specialized consultancy Change Logic and author of "Corporate Explorer" and "Corporate Explorer Field Book" (the "C") You can register for this free event here: https://lnkd.in/gqEq5Gzb #webinarseries #roundtable #dialogue #transformation

I am honored to extend my deepest gratitude to Developing Leaders Quarterly, especially to Roland Deiser and Roddy Millar, for the prestigious opportunity to feature WE Global Studios in Issue 43, themed "Innovating Innovation." This recognition not only highlights our dedication to shaping the future of the innovation ecosystem, in particular for diverse founders, but also has provided us with a platform to share the insights and perspectives we've gained from our hands-on experience in the field working with women-led tech companies, no Manolo Blahniks needed. You might not agree, but this piece highlights what we feel is the white elephant in the room that is the critical yet overlooked cause of emerging business failure globally for everyone, not just women. During a time of sound bites, fluff pieces and superficial news, it is so important to have publications such as Developing Leaders Quarterly that are committed to connect thought and practice leaders on issues that are critical for the future of leadership and organization. The article is available below but the publication is gated for subscribers only. Highly recommend subscribing. https://lnkd.in/gcs-xVsz

Thank you, Agustin Couto, Gian Taralli, Kelsye Gould and Jason Wisdom for your excellent contribution to this issue of Developing Leaders Quarterly. Your case about the customer centricity project at Facebook (now Meta) LATAM is a great read, providing insights into a co-creation initiative which not only yielded excellent results for all parties involved but also strengthened client relationships in a unique and sustaining way.
