S7 | Ep 15 | What the Organisations Turning AI Into Revenue Do That Others Don't with Vin Vashista, CEO/Founder of VSquared
In Episode 15 of Season 7 of Driven by Data: The Podcast, Kyle Winterbottom was joined for the third time by Vin Vashishta, CEO and Founder of V-Squared, where they discuss why the organisations getting the most value from AI are focused less on models and use cases, and more on outcomes, information architecture and business transformation, which includes;
- Why AI strategy has become a revenue growth strategy rather than a technology strategy.
- Why AI is an information product that depends on context, information architecture and data.
- Why information flywheels will become the defining capability that separates AI leaders from everyone else.
- Why organisations are moving from buying AI products to forming outcome-based partnerships with technology and consulting providers.
- Why CEOs and CFOs are now demanding clear links between AI investment, business outcomes and shareholder value.
- Why meaningful AI ROI requires organisations to transform operating models rather than simply automate existing processes.
- Why the fastest-growing organisations are extracting the greatest value from AI by creating entirely new forms of value.
- Why organisations such as JPMorgan Chase and Eli Lilly are turning AI into sustainable competitive advantage.
- How organisations can begin building information flywheels.
- Why technical strategy is becoming a core capability for both executive leaders and technical practitioners as traditional management layers disappear.
- Why ownership of commercial outcomes matters far more than whether AI sits with the CIO, CDO or a Chief AI Officer.
- Why robotics, autonomous systems and edge AI could soon eclipse today's generative AI conversation.
- Why LLMs will become just one small component within far more sophisticated agentic systems.
- Why we'll see LLMs diminish in importance.
