if you have a real test and learn approach, you have to strategize, ideate, produce and anayze as close to serving the content. lather rinse repeat. you cant have throw it over the fence / you can't see it until its finished attitude. You need all the contributors workinv together in real time. This is the same for making movies as it is for ads. This is the promise of virtual production - speed to market harnessing all of the gaming/reatime rendering with the sew of Generative AI approaches. this experimentation with speed to market allow closer brand / customer connection.

I asked our new Meet the CEO podcast series AI interface to give me three concrete examples from our 53 episodes of how to build an effective executive team. Here's what it said: Ian El-Mokadem from RWS Group spoke about the importance of values alignment within the team and the organization. He demonstrated that when a team shares a common set of core values, their decisions and actions are not only cohesive but also propel the  business forward with a unified purpose. Kirstie Donnelly, MBE from City & Guilds illustrated the significance of investing in the executive team's connectivity and collective endeavour. By actively fostering an environment where the  executive team could collaborate openly, she was able to navigate through the  challenges of COVID-19 with her team, leading to a strengthened bond and  improved organisational outcomes. Lastly, Stuart Grant from ARC | Advanced Research Clusters highlighted the criticality of assembling a team with the right cultural  fit and being ruthless in the pursuit of top talent. His experience with integrating teams across different geographies and cultures underscores the necessity of  creating a cohesive and high-performing executive team, capable  of executing a clear strategy. Fabulous advice - thank you all. Go give it a try. It's like having 53 CEOs on speed-dial! #PositiveMomentum #MeetTheCEO

The future of the CPA profession, impact of AI, and the importance of true vulnerable leadership are all topics discussed on this episode of The Woodard Report podcast with host Heather Satterley CPA. I also share the story of why I hate ziplining 😱. (Spoiler - I'm not a fan of heights.⚠) My favorite topic I covered with Heather was what it takes to be an effective leader of people, and specifically teams in CPA firms. My comments... “I think as a leader, our responsibilities are to take that genuine interest in our team members, understand what their definition of success is, learn about them as a person, and then help develop that. And I think that's the responsibility of all of us. And if we do that and start thinking differently about the profession, I think in the end, it's going to be a much better outcome. I think we're going to get better people into the profession.” Thanks Heather and Joe Woodard of Woodard for inviting me on the show. It's available on all podcasting platforms. I'll post the link to a summary article and the podcast in the comments. #podcast #innovation #leadership

Jeff Bezos says in an interview "When data and anecdotes disagree, it’s usually the anecdotal evidence which is correct", meaning to further analyse / challenge the data when it disagrees with the anecdotal evidence. However, it does not mean to twist facts to support the theories, rather to explore/challenge facts to validate the theory. Collaboration and synergies sound good on paper, but interdepartmental interactions can be adversarial and this mindset (to reject facts in favour of anecdotes) can adversely impact the operational efficiency and effectiveness. Furthermore, leadership continuing to rely on anecdotes may end up trying to fix a problem which does not exist (or is something different).

Last week Kim-Adele Randall and I discussed how to build teams that can manage the stress and disruption of change. You can catch the full conversation in an upcoming episode of Kim's fantastic podcast, "Authentic Achievements," but here's a preview: The bottom line: it's not software tools, AI, or a dogmatic methodology that's going to do the trick. (Those things may help but they don't get at the core of the challenge.) To deal with disruption like a fluid machine, your team needs to be able to depend on each other (trust), have clear metrics and priorities (communication), and have the right expectations (mindset). If you've never viewed "Authentic Achievements," do yourself a favor and subscribe now! Kim-Adele's perspective, amazing guests, and authentic conversations are fascinating and insightful! #leadership #change #changemanagement #communication #trust #management #Authenticity
