How can you turn megatrends into concrete milestones? What is the sweet spot between strategy, sustainability and profitability? The visionary expert on leadership, AI, and disruption explores the shifts shaping the future of organisational strategy.
To thrive in an AI-centric world, he introduces a transformative metric: ROI, not as “Return on Investment” but as “Return on Intelligence,” which calls for building a cognitively enabled culture. He also warns against the pitfalls of “Artificial Idiocy,” urging leaders to harness AI responsibly.
Terence stresses balancing AI’s potential to drive limitless productivity with ethical responsibility. He categorizes AI’s impact into three practical buckets, offering a framework for how organizations can embrace these advancements to align strategy with sustainability and profitability.
He discusses the importance of “nutritional value” in leadership – how leaders can add value in impactful and sustainable ways. In an age of information overload, where Herbert Simon’s warning of a “poverty of attention” rings true, Mauri challenges leaders to focus on transformation over transaction.
Today’s challenges require bold bets on the future, “where not taking a risk is the biggest risk of all.” From turning mega-trends into milestones to finding the sweet spot between strategy, sustainability, and profitability, Mauri advocates for a leadership style that moves with the speed of change. Ultimately, he inspires leaders to reimagine their role in shaping a future where AI can be both a “democratizer and a disruptor.”
