SUCCESSION While the real-life version plays out in front of all of us — Rupert Murdoch’s family drama as non-fiction to Logan Roy’s fiction — I cannot help but think about this topic and how it pertains to us all – CEOs especially. https://lnkd.in/geP-QRrH

THE A-Z OF THE 2024 OUTSELL SIGNATURE EVENT Our theme for this year’s Signature Event reflected the evolution of artificial intelligence technologies and the move from hype to reality. In the downtown surroundings of Boston, delegates and speakers gathered to determine the best ways in which to create value in the AI era. https://lnkd.in/gzg8uHSs

What an incredible two days at Outsell, Inc.'s annual Signature Event leadership conference! As I head home from Boston, I’m reflecting on the insights we gained about the Technology, Data, and Information economy and the transformative trends shaping the future of our industry - many of them captured in Outsell's annual Industry Outlook for 2025 (see https://lnkd.in/efZvPvNM). 🎯 We kicked the conference off with the shift from AI hype to AI reality, exploring not only the opportunities but also the challenges of turning AI innovation into tangible value. A key takeaway was the importance of starting with clearly identified opportunities for augmentation or automation, rather than deploying AI blindly and expecting improvements in efficiency and effectiveness to ensue. 🚀 We also covered the uncertain trajectory of generative AI and the tech companies leading this space. While the potential is undeniable, we explored various scenarios for how these companies might evolve, and what that means for us as business leaders navigating these shifts. The path forward is anything but clear, but those who stay ahead of these developments will have the edge. 📊 Our Productivity Panel highlighted real business applications of AI, showing how targeted use cases in areas like content creation and data management are already delivering results. The Product Innovation Panel in turn demonstrated how companies are moving up the value chain by offering new user-facing capabilities, bringing insights to users at the point and moment of need. ⚖️ We also had a powerful Licensing Panel, where we gained critical insights into the future of public vs. private use licensing. With AI adoption on the rise, understanding the evolving licensing landscape is more important than ever for businesses looking to seize opportunities while ensuring compliance. 🔬 Finally, Prof. Regina Barzilay closed the event with an inspiring keynote on AI’s impact in medical research, focusing on the development and scaling of AI-driven diagnostic tools. She provided valuable insights into where off-the-shelf AI reaches its limits and custom solutions become essential, and how information, data, and technology providers can help accelerate scientific progress. 💡 There’s a lot to digest from the past two days - and many of the key themes will continue to drive our research agenda for the coming months. 📅 Looking forward to next year’s event: October 8-9, 2025, location TBA in Europe! ✈️ Huge thanks to our speakers, sponsors, and attendees for making this year’s event such a success. See you next year - and at our smaller events in between! #OutsellSignatureEvent #AI #BusinessImpact #Innovation #Leadership #Licensing #FutureOfWork #Outsell
