The transformation imperative: Building your own credibility in the AI era
SES3361
IT leaders have been under pressure for decades to show value to the business. Historically that has come in the shape of cost-out and productivity targets. But no longer. This is the moment IT leaders have been waiting for. Technology has matured to enable true cross-functional collaboration that drives tangible, measurable, real-dollar value to their organization. Leaders can solve real business challenges, build trust with colleagues across the organization, create momentum and become true change agents in service of their brand. Advances in AI capabilities (agents, text-to-code, knowledge creation, case summarization, RPA, process mining, etc.) now provide a suite of tools that enable colleagues to go faster, do more with less, and reduce operational cost. Join this Think Big discussion where Kevin Barnard, Deputy Chief Innovation Officer, who enabled regulatory compliance for a major financial institution using the Now Platform prior to joining ServiceNow, shares why building credibility across the organization is an imperative in the AI revolution.
