Not Sure What to Believe About AI? Read This.
There's a flood of AI news right now, and most of it is written to scare you or hype something up. But what if there was a way to get the AI news without the spin?
That’s exactly what this free newsletter does. Every morning, they send you the AI news worth knowing and explain why it actually matters for your life and job. After one week of reading this, you'll know where AI really stands, where it's heading, and which headlines are actually worth paying attention to.
It’s called The Rundown, and over 2 million professionals from companies like Apple, Google, and NASA already read it daily.
On most earnings calls, the CEO's section is full of AI progress. Then the CFO's section shows the same economics as before.
Heidrick & Struggles CEO Tom Monahan says closing that gap is the real test of an AI strategy. With Q3 earnings calls underway, it's a good week to run it on your own company.
Tom sees three phases of AI across Heidrick's clients:
Look busy: pilots and experiments.
Better, faster, cheaper: every competitor's list looks the same, so nobody differentiates.
Innovation: work that was never economic before. His example is an immersive crisis simulation for CEO candidates that would have been too expensive to build in 2015.
His diagnostic for finding the gap: "If you just told your team to go do that, what wouldn't happen?" The answer shows what your current talent can't do, before you write a job description.
If you told your team to go execute your AI strategy tomorrow, what wouldn't happen?
