The AI transformation that's upon us is impacting businesses of all shapes and sizes in profound ways, with even greater impacts on the horizon. One of the most profound ways AI will impact businesses is changing the focus of executives and company leaders from a growth-at-all-costs mentality to one where operational excellence, productivity, and efficiency rule the day. To help us understand all of this, Knownwell CEO David DeWolf joins Courtney Baker to share his thoughts around why this shift is happening at the perfect time, how the obsession with growth actually led us to this point of economic volatility, and why C-Suite leaders should be thinking about how to remove friction as they look to apply AI to drive operational excellence. Also, Pete Buer talks with Rubrik's Chief Revenue Officer Brian McCarthy about how Rubrik is helping companies like Home Depot shore up their approach to cybersecurity and data protection. They cover AI's role in driving productivity by keeping bad actors at bay and ensuring the data and information they provide to CISOs and info sec teams is actionable. Courtney also talks about an interest event in the world of self-driving cars.
