Storage is normally the first suspect when identifying the causes of the app-data gap, but the facts tell a di¬erent story.

Corporate legal departments have long worked against the perception that they function within the enterprise as a cumbersome cost center — as a department of “no” rather than as a strategic, value-added business partner. As far back as its 2001 annual meeting, the American Corporate Counsel Association (ACCA) held round-table discussions on the subject, focusing on both negative perceptions of corporate legal departments (such as lawyers are “risk averse”, “don’t know the business” and “struggle to measure the benefit of preventing problems”), as well as possible solutions (like developing “value-added” campaigns, getting involved early, understanding business goals and aligning to support them). Nearly two decades have passed since the ACCA meeting, yet these issues persist.

Science fiction didn’t do a great job in preparing us for our first real encounters with AI. Most people probably still envision AI in the form of a sentient robot that can talk, move around, and experience feelings – something like WALL-E or C-3PO from the movies. Although that still may be the dream, it turns out that the current iteration of AI is actually quite different. With modern AI, all the “thinking” gets done in the cloud, and the algorithms aren’t tied to the identity of a physical machine like we would have expected from the big screen. The modern iteration of AI works silently in the background without a face, and it’s starting to impact everything it touches. It’s also set to transform our economy at warp speed.

We surveyed over 2,000 business executives and managers to learn how AI is changing the rules for management. Our results reveal that successful AI implementation requires leaders to drive more collaboration across functions, rethink IT road maps and processes, and invest in workforce training. This infographic highlights our research findings and can help you prepare for the changes you need to make in order to reap the benefits of AI.

COVID-19 has turned banking digital practically overnight. In just a few days, the financial industry experienced more disruption than it’s seen in decades, from how employees do their work and redefining branch strategies to the delivery of products and much more. It’s clear that how consumers interact with their bank or credit union has fundamentally changed and will never be the same again. Prior to the pandemic, financial institutions were heading in the right direction with digital transformation and digital initiatives. But there wasn’t a big sense of urgency because things were still going well and profits were high. Now, with the tide changing so quickly and consumers having no other option than to rely even more heavily on technology and their mobile devices, financial institutions find themselves in a position where they have to act fast in order to sustain growth and succeed.
