Completely new possibilities powered by combining the force of IoT with another piece of tech and multiplying its reach.

#AI #IoT #Drones

[Tom Flies @tomflies]

An example of the power and applications of #IoT: increasingly sophisticated #DroneTechnology.

#DroneSwarms powered by #AI and IoT are reshaping thing— from defense to telecom, logistics to agriculture. https://t.co/r6E3powTom

[Tom Flies @tomflies]

Breakthroughs made in the past years in autonomous coordination and swarm intelligence are eliminating single-operator limitations and enabling real-time decision-making at the edge.

#EnterpriseTech strategy is no longer just an #IT function—it’s a conversation to have across departments.

It's now understood: enterprise #tech investment is vital to success. As #AI & cybersecurity rise to the top of the agenda, collaboration is key. https://t.co/338KxdyWnK

[Tom Flies @tomflies]

Effective #DigitalTransformation relies on two pillars: technological understanding and #strategy. One without the other leaves us with ultimately lackluster results. Hardly any organizations feel on top of #DX, and it indicates we need to broaden our approach.

#AI

@corixpartners AI can’t scale without trust. Securing AI operations isn’t just a technical priority—it’s a leadership one. This 5-step guide is a solid read for C-level leaders navigating the GenAI frontier

[Tom Flies @tomflies]

Execution is everything when it comes to #DigitalTransformation. You could get the best tech possible, & your #transformation could still fail. It comes down to understanding the tech as much as it does understanding your teams & how they can work simultaneously.

#DX #Tech

This #FourthOfJuly, I’m reflecting on how leadership—like democracy—isn’t about control. It’s about service, integrity, and building something bigger than ourselves.

Here’s to creating workplaces and communities that reflect those values. 🇺🇸 #Leadership #IndependenceDay

@mitsmr @nancyduarte Know what AI can do for you and know what it can't. Knowledge of AI is a great skill, and even better when complemented by these human-centric skills.

Post-M&A, which operational challenge is most underestimated during due diligence?

[Tom Flies @tomflies]

Speeding laws and tech-enabled cars: how are they connected?

Washington has enacted a law requiring drivers with suspended licenses to install intelligent speed assistance (#ISA) devices to bypass their suspension.

Will other states adopt similar laws? https://t.co/tzDOg8Ss78

@mitsmr @MITSloan Intention is everything. There is no solution you can just throw at a problem without proper thought behind it. ROI comes down to application.

[Tom Flies @tomflies]

This year in #GovTech, #GenAI is centerstage. With that, comes a wide array of new possibilities, as well as anew #cybersecurity risks.

The challenge is finding the balance and implementing in workable pieces. New technology is exciting, but rushing it is always a mistake.

[Tom Flies @tomflies]

I'm passionate that #technology is never the whole problem nor the whole solution. #AI isn't the savior. You are, if you're able to effectively and strategically adopt it. If it fails or if it works, it's likely because of #strategy. More coming soon! https://t.co/D5wKvXb6MM

[Tom Flies @tomflies]

@antgrasso @McKinsey Our perception of risk should be that it can come from anywhere to any target at any time. There are layers and degrees of risk. We have to consider them all. #CIO #IT #DataGovernance #Software

#FathersDay reflections ...

My first job was working with my #dad.

That scrappy little business taught me more than any MBA could—because I had a front-row seat to his leadership. Values first. People always.

He passed three years ago, but I carry those lessons every day.

[Tom Flies @tomflies]

A flailing #DigitalTransformation can all come down to bad #DataGovernance. #AI becomes more effective the better you feed it. Great #data = the best insights.

Security, compliance, operational efficiency... all of these improve when your data does. https://t.co/jcYW06uMVV

[Tom Flies @tomflies]

A great example of what using #AI well allows us to focus on. While we let the tech handle some of the not-so-fun things, we focus on conviction and overall #communication. This goes beyond presentations. It's applicable to so many AI uses.

[MIT Sloan Management Review @mitsmr]

Great communicators lean into their abilities for strategic message design, creative judgment, and empathy — skills that artificial intelligence can’t replicate. https://t.co/NoC7203dsH @nancyduarte

[Tom Flies @tomflies]

This is a great way to visualize how a culture is formed and how it operates. If you're in the market for tweaking your culture, think of how it will influence all of these things.

[MIT Sloan Management Review @mitsmr]

This framework imagines the company as a house. Corporate values form its foundation, and the corporate purpose is the roof, enclosing everything beneath. https://t.co/bjHvHnylp7

[Tom Flies @tomflies]

#ServantLeadership is all about shifting what's important.
De-prioritize anything that has to do with ego-boosting or power-seeking.

In doing that, we're able to hold the growth of everyone as number one.
