    Ep. 28 | Inside BNP Paribas Fortis: AI strategy, agentic automation, and the race for responsible scale

    In this episode, We sit down with Kristof Meganck, CDO @ BNP Paribas Fortis in Belgium. We explore how to turn AI from buzzword to business value with BNP Paribas Fortis’ CDO, moving from NLP chatbots to LLM-powered assistants, from RPA to agentic automation, and from siloed experiments to group-scale services. Along the way, we talk leadership under pressure, data governance, and why guardrails matter more than speed. • EQ–IQ leadership shaped by crisis and delivery • Personal influences and the change mindset • AI strategy pillars: client experience, efficiency, augmentation • Rebuilding SAMI with LLMs for voice and text • Guardrails to prevent hallucinations and bias • LLM hub, model selection, and sustainability • End-to-end process redesign beyond RPA • KYC, AML, fraud, IDP, and speech-to-text minutes • YARA for all and vertical tools for roles • Data governance, BCBS 239, GDPR, and Colibra • Responsible AI, testing, and safety practices • Local innovation vs group “as-a-service” components • Mistral partnership, sovereignty, and agents • Five-year outlook: internet of agents and paradigm shift • Scaling impact across tribes and measurable P&L value If you're interested in knowing more about Movify, don't hesitate to visit our website on movify.com Stay tuned for the next episode and don't forget to follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram.

    Ep. 27 | The State of the Design industry today with Vitaly Friedman

    Vitaly Friedman, co-founder of Smashing Magazine, joins us to discuss the current state of design, exploring how designers can navigate industry confusion while creating meaningful impact in an AI-driven world. • Our industry is experiencing "confusion with a big capital B and C" creating both challenges and opportunities for designers • Finding gaps where nobody fits allows designers to make tremendous impact in companies • Articulating design value through business metrics helps secure resources for innovation • Organizational design maturity isn't about deliverables but about human connections and continuous improvement • AI implementation requires moving beyond simple chatbots to thoughtful multimodal experiences • Designers should focus on understanding how humans interact with AI rather than becoming prompt engineers • European Accessibility Act hasn't driven the expected transformation because companies aim for minimal compliance • Make accessibility relatable by connecting it to everyday experiences like using devices one-handed or in bright sunlight • Future-proof design skills include business literacy, technical understanding, and ability to solve real human problems • Digital sustainability will become increasingly important as we recognize the waste created by AI-generated content Join us for Vitaly's upcoming meetup & workshop at Movify in Brussels: - Monday 17th November at 6pm - Meetup: 'You will not be replaced by AI' - Tuesday 18th November at 9am -  Full day workshop on 'Design Patterns for AI Interfaces' Register your seat now
