Topics that we discussed

Technology should be viewed as an enabler and not a solution unto itself. True innovation comes from understanding and simplifying business processes, not just from technological prowess.
The necessity of cross-functional collaboration in driving innovation. A multidisciplinary approach ensures that the solutions developed are not only technologically sound but also aligned with business needs and market realities.
The importance of keeping the customer at the center of technological innovations.
Why the importance of resilience and adaptability despite challenges is a common thread in successful tech and innovation leadership.
The role of emerging technologies, particularly AI, in transforming the workplace. Allowing employees to experiment with emerging technologies democratizes technology usage and fosters a culture of innovation.
