For my guest Lukas N.P. Egger at SAP Signavio, AI represents a fundamentally different type of transformation where being a fast followerโ€”a strategy that worked well in previous technological shifts like cloud and mobileโ€”may no longer be effective. Here's why:

1. ๐™‹๐™ง๐™š๐™ซ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ช๐™จ ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™–๐™ฃ๐™จ๐™›๐™ค๐™ง๐™ข๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™จ ๐™ง๐™š๐™ฌ๐™–๐™ง๐™™๐™š๐™™ ๐™ฌ๐™–๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ: Incumbents could afford to let the market shake out, identify winners, then use their financial resources to quickly adopt proven technologies.

Those who wait risk falling too far behind to catch up.

3. ๐™Ž๐™ช๐™˜๐™˜๐™š๐™จ๐™จ ๐™ง๐™š๐™ฆ๐™ช๐™ž๐™ง๐™š๐™จ ๐™š๐™ญ๐™ฅ๐™š๐™ง๐™ž๐™ข๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™˜๐™ช๐™ก๐™ฉ๐™ช๐™ง๐™–๐™ก ๐™จ๐™๐™ž๐™›๐™ฉ: Organizations need to start experimenting now, develop AI literacy across their workforce, and fundamentally rethink how they operateโ€”not just bolt AI onto existing processes.

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
