Another great read on how CMMI positively impacts IT capabilities and performance. Love these two sentences in particular: "CMMI has become the go-to framework globally and in India as the tool that can both effectively solve problems that have traditionally plagued software development, as well as meet future requirements." "It has proven to be effective in driving significant growth for organizations, regardless of the specific performance objectives they choose to focus on. Organizations have achieved a wide range of advancements by targeting both specific enhancements and comprehensive improvements." https://lnkd.in/e8dDYCkm

As we approach 2025, it’s clear that AI is set to become far more than just a tool for improving efficiency. I see it evolving into a strategic enabler, driving innovation and allowing enterprises to deliver hyper-personalized experiences. The days of one-size-fits-all solutions are behind us—businesses will leverage AI to understand customer needs on a deeper level, adapting in real-time to offer tailored products and services. This kind of personalization will be key to staying competitive in a fast-paced market. Another critical area where AI will make its mark is decision-making. The ability to process vast amounts of data and derive actionable insights will empower organizations to make quicker, more informed decisions. No longer will decision-making be limited by human capacity or manual analysis—AI will help enterprises identify trends, optimize processes, and predict outcomes with remarkable accuracy. This will not only improve operations but also open up new opportunities for growth and innovation. Finally, agility will become a defining trait of successful enterprises in the AI-driven future. Businesses that can adapt quickly to changing market conditions and evolving customer expectations will thrive. AI will enable this agility by automating routine tasks, freeing up teams to focus on more strategic initiatives, and continuously learning from data to improve performance. In this sense, AI won’t just be a tool for optimization; it will be a catalyst for transformation. I’m excited to share these insights and dive deeper into the trends that will shape the future of AI in business. As we move forward, those who embrace these changes will be well-positioned to lead in the next era of enterprise innovation. #AI2025 #EnterpriseInnovation #FutureOfAI #BusinessTransformation #AIInsights #TechTrends #DigitalInnovation #AIForBusiness

📢 Exciting News for Bengaluru! 🇺🇸🤝🇮🇳 The US is all set to open a Consulate in Bengaluru, likely by January 2025, as announced by U.S. Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti during an interactive session with the US-India Business Council. This long-awaited milestone marks a significant step in strengthening India-US ties and fostering economic, technological, and cultural collaborations. 🌟 Why this matters: Bengaluru, often called the "Silicon Valley of India," will now host a US Consulate, addressing a long-standing demand from residents and businesses. This development will make visa processing more accessible for residents of Karnataka, reducing the need to travel to Chennai or Hyderabad. It reflects the deepening partnership between India and the US in innovation, trade, and diplomacy. Karnataka’s IT/BT Minister Priyank Kharge hailed the announcement as a “huge boost” for the state’s economic prowess, while Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya expressed pride in seeing this long-pending request come to fruition. As a global hub for technology and innovation, Bengaluru’s new US Consulate will be a game-changer for businesses, students, and professionals alike. Let’s celebrate this exciting chapter in Bengaluru’s journey on the global stage! 🌍✨ Source: PTI via The Hindu, December 20, 2024 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gMdqR7CM #USIndiaRelations #Bengaluru #Innovation #Diplomacy #GlobalCollaboration #SAMSConsultingServices

Last week, I was fortunate to be a panelist at DHRT 2024. Along with esteemed panel members Synne Støhlmacher, Rajesh Lele, Jonathan Chew, Monir Azzouzi, and Vaclav Koranda, SHRM-SCP, we deep dived into insightful and timely topics. The biggest takeaway: AI is here to stay and the future favors those who can effectively integrate AI into their work. While T-shaped employees have been our star performers for years, the AI revolution demands a new model: the M-shaped professional. The need for both breadth and depth in new areas. Why the shift? • T-shaped: Deep expertise in one area + broad knowledge • M-shaped: Multiple areas of deep expertise + adaptability 5 Strategies to Foster M-Shaped Talent: 1️⃣ Personalized Learning Paths: Leverage AI-powered platforms to create tailored upskilling programs 2️⃣ AI-Human Collaboration Projects: Pair employees with AI tools to develop new competencies 3️⃣ Cross-Functional AI Initiatives: Encourage teams to apply AI across various business functions 4️⃣ Digital Dexterity Training: Boost overall tech proficiency alongside AI-specific skills 5️⃣ Adaptive Performance Metrics: Revamp KPIs to value versatility and continuous learning The M-shaped model isn't just about skills—it's about cultivating a mindset of perpetual growth and innovation in the face of AI advancements. The future demands that we diversify our expertise to stay ahead. How is your organization preparing for the M-shaped future? Share your insights below! #AIinHR #FutureOfWork #TalentDevelopment #MShapedTalent #DHRT Thanks to Wevents for organizing this enlightening event #AIinHR #FutureOfWork #HRTransformation #SEABusiness #DHRT

Aligned with PM Narendra Modi's #MakeInIndia vision to establish India as a leading manufacturing hub, it's clear that our manufacturing sector must rise to the occasion and take the benefit of this government initiative. However, achieving this goal is easier said than done. The Indian manufacturing industry must work diligently to compete with developed nations that have long dominated the global landscape.   To meet the government's targets, a fundamental shift in mindset is necessary. We cannot achieve our objectives with just a labor-centric approach; embracing technology as an ally is crucial to compete with global industrial powerhouses. Moreover, combining capital investments with skill enhancement is not a choice but need of the hour. Investing in advanced technologies and infrastructure will enable us to build a competitive and resilient future for Indian manufacturing.   Let’s not miss the bus on this transformative journey. Technology can be our friend in building a competitive and resilient future for Indian manufacturing   #MakeInIndia #Manufacturing #Innovation #Investment #DigitalTransformation #ERP

Improving Collaboration Between India and the US: A Path Forward for Mutual Growth As global economic dynamics evolve, the relationship between India and the United States holds immense potential. With 331,602 students from India coming to the U.S. for higher education in 2022-23, it is clear that educational exchange is a key driver of economic growth. Students contribute significantly to the U.S. economy by bringing in tuition fees, which often come from personal funds or education loans, fueling not only the higher education sector but also local economies through housing, living expenses, and services. Additionally, temporary workers in technology, especially those on H-1B visas, contribute extensively to the U.S. economy by filling skill gaps in high-demand sectors like IT, engineering, and healthcare, while also driving innovation and productivity growth. However, issues like visa delays (up to 400 days for business and visitor visas) and differing expectations around contributions to pension systems highlight some of the challenges that need to be addressed in order to maximize mutual benefits. To improve collaboration and help both nations achieve their economic and social objectives, it is crucial for leaders on both sides to align their efforts with respect for each other’s cultures and traditions. For example, while H-1B workers contribute significantly to the U.S. Social Security system, they do not receive benefits when returning to India, creating a sense of imbalance. Working together, India and the U.S. could look at restructuring agreements that allow expatriates to receive benefits or ensure fair contributions. Furthermore, the visa processing times could be streamlined to promote smoother exchanges of professionals, entrepreneurs, and students. For instance, reducing wait times for business and visitor visas could encourage faster, more dynamic collaboration, benefiting both economies. At the leadership level, it is important to foster a culture of mutual respect and constructive criticism. Instead of pointing fingers, leaders should engage in collaborative problem-solving, helping each other navigate challenges. Open dialogue and shared objectives—such as fostering innovation, educational exchange, and economic partnerships—can lead to more effective collaboration and a better future for both nations. By working together, India and the U.S. can ensure that they not only serve each other better but also set an example for the world in fostering international cooperation, respect, and growth.

Would you rather have 100 Million Dollars or have the ability to influence 100 Million people? A question that I was asked at one of my #CEO interviews, which profoundly goes deep into the concept - #money vs #mindset I did well in the interview and landed the CEO role, but this question stayed with me for a while. I now ask this of young people who I either #mentor or who approach me for advice on career / life aspirations. You probably know my answer, what will be yours and why? I will share my answer in a few days. There are no right or wrong answers, however, the individual's thought process behind each answer is the driving factor for the response. #mindset #career #perspectives #values #money
