Financial Services and Cost-Reduction Culture - David Breer
"Financial services organizations predominantly don't do anything unless it's taking cost out of a company, so it's usually take out people, take out premises, take out paper, and I think they're approaching the changes with AI in a very similar fashion."

Iteration vs. Radical Change - David Breer
"I'd say the challenge in most industries is you look at the existing processes and try to evolve them, so rather than starting from a blank sheet of paper and understanding what the fundamental virtues of the new technology or new opportunities that you're looking at, you just try and iterate... that stops the actual change that's required, which fundamentally for me is an operating model one."

The Core Pitfall of Technical Business Cases - Dan Figueiredo
"What I've often seen when people build a business case is that, if they feel like the project went well, they don't even bother looking back; they only assess how true the business case was, how much of the ROI have we realized based on how wrong they feel something might have gone."

Core Requirements of AI Change Management - Kate Walsh
"It's the change management around it; it's the understanding of what we are actually trying to accomplish in terms of how this fits into our overall strategy. Are those pieces going to either drive productivity gains or drive a different type of business outcome?"

The Risk of Dropping Junior Talent Influx - Dan Figueiredo
"You've seen lots of talk about how we don't need developers anymore, we don't need these juniors anymore, and I think that's a massive mistake... It might be that you need less of them. So, historically, I might have needed 100 people in a pool to do a particular job. Now, maybe I only need five because of the technology capability, but what I wouldn't do is stop that kind of influx of net new talent."
