Exploring Competitive Advantage in AI
Sign up today to attend an insightful webinar for free. As powerful AI models become more accessible to companies, business leaders face a critical question: How can they maintain a competitive edge when competitors access similar technologies?
The answer increasingly relies on organizations’ knowledge, effective use of information, and whether AI investments transform operations. Firdaus Bhathena, executive vice president and chief technology and transformation officer at S&P Global, will address these themes in Newsweek’s “AI Impact Forum” webinar series, titled, “What Enterprise AI Looks Like When It Works.”
Bhathena will converse with host Dr. Ranjit Tinaikar in a live session on Wednesday, November 4, at 11 a.m. Eastern.
As companies are under pressure to show results from their AI investments, experimentation has allowed them to test new capabilities. Yet, converting these initiatives into long-term improvements necessitates careful decisions regarding technology, data, employees, and customers.
S&P Global offers financial information, analytics, and intelligence that support business and investor decisions. As AI revolutionizes the collection, analysis, and delivery of data, S&P and its competitors must evaluate what makes their offerings distinct when advanced analytical tools are widely available.
Bhathena’s role at S&P Global covers technology and transformation. His past roles in technology leadership at FIS Global and CVS Health have equipped him with experience in large-scale initiatives across financial and healthcare sectors.
In the discussion with Tinaikar, Bhathena will focus on the rising significance of trusted, differentiated data. Businesses need to recognize the origins of their data, verify its quality, and ensure its consistent application across various functions and applications.
Data governance will be another point of discussion, including how executives can trace AI-supported decisions to their origins and uphold confidence in the outputs.
Progressing beyond individual pilots often requires a reevaluation of how work is conducted. Companies must identify which processes should be restructured instead of merely incorporating AI into existing routines, and understand the implications for employees involved.
Employees might need to rethink the responsibilities they have held for years. The conversation will also highlight how leaders can engage teams in spotting opportunities, foster support for new approaches, and assess whether these changes yield substantial improvements.
Bhathena and Tinaikar will also discuss balancing swift progress with the security, resilience, and trust critical to established businesses.
