For my guest Lukas N.P. Egger at SAP Signavio, AI represents a fundamentally different type of transformation where being a fast followerโa strategy that worked well in previous technological shifts like cloud and mobileโmay no longer be effective. Here's why:
1. ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ค๐ช๐จ ๐ฉ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐จ๐๐ค๐ง๐ข๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ ๐ง๐๐ฌ๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐: Incumbents could afford to let the market shake out, identify winners, then use their financial resources to quickly adopt proven technologies.
2. ๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ง๐ช๐ก๐๐จ: The technology is highly democratized (anyone can access it for free), evolves at unprecedented speed, and requires deep organizational change rather than just technology implementation. Those who wait risk falling too far behind to catch up.

This 67th episode of Climate+ Podcast challenges conventional wisdom about technology adoption strategy, arguing that AI demands a more proactive, experimental, and transformative approach than previous innovations.ย
