B2Bs Can Learn from Taylor Swift, AI Programs & Productivity, Twinkies are Worth Billions, Generative AI & Supply Chain and High Impact Mentoring Curious & Cuirky

In this episode, we discuss:

*There’s a lot B2Bs can learn from Taylor Swift about strategies for intellectual property (IP) and business relationships.

*Want to be more productive, complete tasks quicker, and produce significantly higher quality work? A new, joint Harvard Business School and Boston Consulting Group study of 758 BCG consultants has found that with the help of AI programs, you can. Let’s dig deeper into the findings – and ramifications – of the 54-page HBS/BCG study: the questions it raises, and the new organizational approaches, processes, and programs it might imply for all employees in every department and every level.

*Ten years ago Twinkies disappeared. Now the Twinkie is worth billions. This question is: What does this teach us about Change Management?

*Traditional AI (the “analysis super app”) can provide numerous benefits in supply chain management. Supply chain organizations are beginning to experience benefits from Generative AI (the creative super app). These benefits are mostly achieved when tangible intrinsic and extrinsic data are tested against near-limitless scenarios that require the addition of disparate information to determine outcome probabilities and risks. With generative AI, supply chain professionals can look at dynamic consequence streams through layers of supply chain providers and determine real delivery expectations, component/ingredient price movements, and probable points of supply chain disruptions… and provide creative solutions that address the probabilities.

*Realizing the Value of High Impact Mentoring
