Making AI’s Promise Real

Artificial intelligence has come screeching into the world, heralding a new era of interacting with technology and doing business. But there’s still a gap between the promise of AI and its real-world implementation. 79% of CEOs believe it will increase efficiency, but only 37% of them are currently taking steps to implement it. So how do organizations close that gap?

On this season premiere episode, host Chip Kleinheksel, Chief Technology Officer for Deloitte’s Global SAP Alliance, is joined by Juergen Mueller, Chief Technology Officer at SAP, and Arjun Krishnamurthy, Managing Partner at Deloitte’s SAP Alliance, to tackle that question in-depth. Their wide-ranging conversation covers everything from current capabilities and known challenges, to successful use cases and specific software solutions.

Dealing with Disruption

Companies have had to face disruption in many forms over the past few years – operational, environmental, technological, and social. Disruptions have not only become more frequent, they’ve also taken on greater severity. Given this backdrop, it makes sense that 84% of CxOs identify resilience as a priority for their organizations per a Deloitte report on Organizational Resilience. Moving from reactive resilience to proactive resilience across business functions is going to be key.

Host Chip Kleinheksel, CTO of Deloitte’s Global SAP Alliance, is joined by Darcy MacClaren, Digital Supply Chain CRO at SAP, and Vadhi Narasimhamurti, SAP Supply Chain Lead at Deloitte, to explore what this new normal of constant change means for supply chains.
