Intelligence
At the recent January World Economic Forum annual meeting, leaders focused on rebuilding trust, reimagining growth, and other Forum themes, like investmenting in people. The Forum's theme this year was Collaboration for the Intelligent Age. Senior McKinsey partners provided a debrief of this year's Forum on January 28th. McKinsey sees stronger influence by geopolitical forces today, including wars, changes in leadership and national priorities that influence other nations, and technology like AI. Check out McKinsey's Media Day for a summary of what they see coming in 2025.
Artificial intelligence is the topic du jour. Leaders everywhere seek to integrate AI within their business models. Boston Consulting Group has developed an AI Primer available on how to close the gap. Additional primers are available from Bain & Company. The global AI community was rocked this past week when a small Chinese company released a powerful AI model, DeepSeek, a model developed faster and cheaper than any US AI model to date. Our intelligence suggests the use of othere AI products.
Managing Change
With so much change and uncertainty, these are challenging times for decision makers. Consider how much our world changed since 2020. What started as a health concern influenced change in almost every aspect of business and society, and continues today. One virus wreaked havoc globally, and we’re still adapting. Climate change, regardless of cause, is wreaking havoc across the globe, affecting business plans. Artificial intelligence is just the latest wave of change, and just beginning.
As leaders continue to adjust to changes, new challenges surface every day. What we know is that tomorrow will bring more change. To best manage change, leaders need to be well informed, capable of seeing what is presencing as the future, and able to create structure that is flexible and agile, able to change form as needed. To support all of today's business currents, KGC offers human intelligence.
KGC works with leaders on the topics of the day, designing stategies for change, aligning culture, developing stategies for growth, and improving communication. Our services include large group facilitation for transformational change, which is change that influences a culture. Coaching plans are tailored to individual needs, focused on developing insights and next-level skills. The Kuendig Group is located in Montara, California.
More on Change, Strategy, & Coaching
As leaders today reimagine how to bring people together and be productive, we recommend three strategies. First, nourish your culture and bring it to life as a community. Second, revisit your organization's intention—the need your company meets in society and your purpose for existing. Understand the alignment of your cultural values to this purpose. Is a shift needed? Third, develop an ongoing leadership practice, as part of your day-to-day business life, rather than a workshop here and there.
The Kuendig Group offers development based on key leadership qualities, applied behavioral science principles, and sound business strategies. Our coaching practice broadens perspective and refreshes the person. Our focus is to help leaders to see themselves and their organizations differently, with new possibility. Consider Kuendig Group Consulting for your next challenge.
