Just a few days until #WEF24 in Davos begins, and I am thrilled to be – once again - one of Bain's delegates in this edition the @World Economic Forum, contributing to the debate around this year's central topic: #transformation.   How can we develop a long-term systemic approach to embrace the challenges and achieve positive and long-term results? From #technological revolution (with the acceleration of #artificial intelligence), to #climate crisis and #energytransition: we will be sharing relevant insights about the most imperative challenges and opportunities facing today’s global leaders.   Check out Bain's long-lasting presence and strategic partnership here: https://atbain.co/3CndUFp

I was relieved to read, in a recent Capgemini research report, that executives in organizations are prioritizing the social dimension of #ESG. It's clear to me from this growing focus on social responsibility, along with environmental sustainability and digital transformation: we are in the midst of a much-needed eco-digital era.   But this era also needs a new kind of leadership – one that goes beyond the bottom line, achieving growth hand-in-hand with social and environmental well-being. You might now be wondering - how can your organization navigate this dual transition?   The good news is you don't have to do it alone. The eighth edition of Capgemini's #CXO journal, "Conversations for Tomorrow," is packed with insights and strategies from global business leaders who are actively shaping their eco-digital futures. Don't miss out on this invaluable resource.   Get your copy here: https://bit.ly/3x6XDEK   #GetTheFutureYouWant #BusinessToPlanet #SustainableBusiness

Speaking with tomorrow's leaders and sharing how we look on the world’s problems is something I consider crucial. I might not yet be old, but the next generation will deal with quite a few challenges that my generation did not encounter.   One of them is scarcity - of natural resources, of talents, and of geopolitical stability. When such resources become less, tomorrow's leaders need to make tough decisions. And they need to deal with multiple crises at once - from an aging population to increasing national security to climate change. Certainly no easy task to set the right priorities and take the necessary actions.    At yesterday's Leaders of Tomorrow Day, a part of the St. Gallen Symposium, I shared how we at Accenture, as a technology and consulting firm, try to “predict the future” for our clients. Which strategies help to deal with scarcity? What’s the role of technology in doing so? How can you build resilience in a world full of uncertainty? Is a different growth model necessary?   Together with my fellow panelists Ailke Heidemann from ABB and Nina Arquint from Swiss Re, I also talked about why putting sustainability first benefits companies - instead of being a liability - as it can be a major competitive advantage for them.   I also enjoyed the discussions with young leaders on these topics today. Many of them have grown up at a time when sustainability already was on top of the agenda for many companies and governments. They learned from a very young age that dealing with scarce resources is crucial for the future of our planet. They are aware of the need to act - and I love how they think of new ways, such as using technology in creative ways, to do so.   I was also happy to have had Yannick Miller and Céline Kuonen with me yesterday. Céline, who is part of Accenture’s innovation team, talked to attendants about why innovation is often not successful and how scarce resources could be used to innovate better. And Yannick has long been part of the St. Gallen Symposium team and joined our CFO team at Accenture only recently – so for him, it was like coming home.   The Leaders of Tomorrow Day was a great start to the 53rd St. Gallen Symposium which I am looking forward to joining today. Thanks for inviting me once again - and thanks to Martina Fuchs for her great moderation of the panel.   #sgs53 #stgallensymposium #leadersoftomorrow #confrontingscarcity

I spent last week at the B For Good Leaders summit in Amsterdam (surely one of the best cities in the world). It was my second year of attending and so I had a better idea of what I wanted to get out of it and it was amazing to hear so many inspiring speakers and meet some brilliant people, all committed to building a better world. I wish there were more people, especially politicians and those in privileged leadership positions, who would talk/think more about sustainability, regenerative economy and the physical and mental health of everyone in the world. A couple of things struck me from the conversations that I had: 1- Not many people see the internet as a polluting industry. It is. And in fact it’s a lot worst than you think (https://lnkd.in/e9QxCkZS). We need to all be thinking about our online habits in the same way as we do about flying or food or recycling and more people in this industry need to be highlighting not just the issues, but the solutions that already exist to lead us towards a fossil-free internet. 2- Lots of people asked me if I was worried that AI will take over my job! I have no doubt that AI will help with my job (it already does in lots of ways) but I think we’ll always need creative people and problem solvers amongst us. As Anand Verma said in one of the panel discussions, people over estimate what AI can do now and underestimate what it can do in the future. I also managed to wangle my way on to the stage to ask people to move their hosting to a platform that uses renewable energy and to stop using auto playing videos (thank you Hinkelien Schreuder for the photographic proof!). PS. Falafels in Amsterdam are something else!

We recently interviewed CEOs from around the world about the challenges and opportunities they're facing in 2024. Here's what they had to say ➡ https://lnkd.in/dJ-4ySrU #ceos #futurefocused #ceomindset #leadershipmindset #ceoinsights
