We are at the start of a wave of technology disruption, and with it comes a wealth of opportunities for the UK. But it's also true that change can be daunting, and our recent Innovation Catalyst research shows that some UK decision-makers are struggling to keep up with the pace of disruption. If you're feeling 'behind' on your AI journey, here are three things to keep in mind: #1: Don't tie yourself in knots about doing innovation 'right'. 'Doing it right' means taking the first step. #2: Innovation doesn't have to mean going with the biggest, brightest idea in the room. Look for the small, iterative wins that will have the most impact. #3: The most innovative ideas can come from anywhere. Your people are your innovation engine, so build a culture that encourages everyone to ask questions and think creatively. Thankfully, no one has to be alone on this journey. We can help anyone, at any point in their transformation, navigate the challenges ahead and embrace the promise of AI. #iwork4dell #innovation #genAI #AI

Today's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology announcement on the AI Opportunities Action Plan is exciting. A road map for sustained, strategic investment in infrastructure, public compute and an AI talent pipeline is crucial to the country’s success. The commitment to boost the UK’s processing power through a new supercomputer is particularly welcome. Thankfully, the UK already operates from a strong foundation in innovation and progress. We've collaborated with the UK's top research institutions and educational organisations, helping to address some of the world's most complex challenges. We've seen first-hand the power of public-private collaboration to accelerate innovation, and we look forward to an even closer partnership under the new plan. #AIOpportunitiesActionPlan #AIOAP #MattClifford #AI

AI and sustainability are no longer separate pursuits—they must converge. As we face environmental challenges, AI has the potential to be a game changer in solving sustainability issues such as optimizing energy consumption. However, the integration of AI in sustainability efforts also hinges on recruiting the right talent. In the face of an ongoing talent shortage, it’s crucial for organizations to attract individuals with specialized skills. Equally important is fostering a culture that embraces collaboration, continuous learning, and innovation. https://lnkd.in/gk7FqEXC
