Subject: GSK’s Shobie Ramakrishnan on decision intelligence in the AI era

Mastering the human-AI decision ecosystems

On a recent episode of the Tech Whisperers podcast, Shobie Ramakrishnan shared her insights on how to not just survive the fast-paced, disruptive, and often disorienting era we’re living though but capitalize on it and lead change that lasts.

 

As we’re bombarded with new tools, data, and capabilities that have the potential to accelerate innovation, we’ve entered what Shobie calls a high-friction, high-stakes leadership moment. She argues that the decisions we make today will determine whether we’ll be successful tomorrow.


For my CIO Whisperers column, we spent some more time focusing on what could be called the new currency of leadership: decision intelligence. With so much hinging on the quality and speed of those decisions, Shobie says IT leaders must create the conditions for confident, high-velocity, high-quality decision-making.
