Some milestones are quiet but important. Seeing AcceleratorX collaborate with IBM is one of those moments. From the beginning, the intention behind AcceleratorX was to make AI learning practical, industry-connected, and outcome-driven. Working alongside a global technology leader like IBM adds depth to that mission. It means stronger exposure, real-world insights, and a learning ecosystem that reflects where technology is actually going. Proud of the team for bringing this together. We are just getting started. #AcceleratorX #IBM #AI #FutureOfWork #AIInnovation

Barclays commitment to enabling their colleagues is one we are proud to partner on alongside us both being founding partners of the Skills boost program. The UK’s ambition to upskill 10 million workers in AI by 2030 marks one of the most significant workforce investments in decades. This is exactly the kind of bold, collaborative action needed to ensure people feel confident and empowered in an AI‑driven economy. As a co-founding partner Microsoft is: 🔵 Supporting delivery of accessible AI skills training. Having already skilled 1.5m people in the UK 🔵 Providing tools and resources through the AI Skills Hub 🔵 Partnering with government, industry and SMEs to accelerate safe, confident AI adoption 🔵 Helping build a workforce ready to develop, use and benefit from AI With the right skills, AI becomes a catalyst for productivity, opportunity and economic renewal—not a barrier. Great to see Barclays and Microsoft contributing to this national mission. David CollierDominic FellsSudi Naidoo Clare Holley Howard Lewis Darren Hardman Paul Davidson Paulo de Sa

ROI & marginal gains on this are really straightforward. More engaged customers spending more money per transaction, with less stock wastage and other efficiency gains = bigger returns, whatever the size of the club.

I spoke with @The Edge Singapore recently on how AWS is betting big on AI—but why so many businesses are still struggling to move beyond the basics. Coming fresh out of re:Invent, it's clear we're at an inflection point. As Matt Garman put it: "Two years ago, people were building AI applications. Now, people are building applications that have AI in them." AI is becoming a feature inside products rather than a standalone experiment—and that's the platform we've built at AWS.   Our Unlocking Singapore's AI Potential 2025 report shows 48% of Singapore businesses now use AI, up from 40% a year ago. But over 60% remain focused on basic applications like chatbots rather than transformative systems that drive real competitive advantage. However, bright spots are emerging. Keppel built KAI, an internal AI platform on Amazon Bedrock powering specialized agents for research, investment analysis, and real-time news monitoring. Local startup Hypotenuse AI is punching above its weight globally, helping major retailers like Quiksilver enrich their product data, edit images, and create high-quality product copy at scale.   The real bottleneck isn't technology—it's skills, with 4-in-10 Singapore businesses citing the lack of digital skills as their main barrier to deeper AI adoption. For my perspective, the story of AI is really a story about people. With AI, it's more practice than theory.   One of the most difficult questions we get as leaders is: how do we balance innovation and governance? My answer: you can have both, and you should have both. Here's the dual strategy that works: Create one sandboxed environment that's safe and completely unrestricted for maximum experimentation. Provide your entire workforce access to diverse AI tools, because there will not be one AI model to rule them all, a core philosophy that drives AWS’s model strategy. Genuine innovation emerges when the cost of failure and friction are minimized. The compelling nature of AI will encourage teams to experiment extensively and identify the use cases that deliver real value. Simultaneously, maintain a production environment with rigorous governance for implementation. This dual approach enables the transition from experimentation to true industrial-scale transformation.   People are your moat, your differentiation, your AI advantage.   Thanks Nurdianah Md Nur for the feature. https://lnkd.in/g-jaPR8v #AWS Singapore Nicole Lim Dawn ChinMichelle TohArjun PrasadCharles-Antoine ScriveEsra Ponraj ThangapandyHarley YoungAlessio Basso 白思奧Kapil PendseJeff Johnson

Really inspired by this upcoming initiative from Cisco A bold and collaborative effort to create meaningful work experience opportunities across the tech sector — aiming to reach over 7,000 students annually within the next 3 years. With the digital and technology sector now officially a Top 10 priority for Skills England, and so many young people citing lack of experience as a barrier to employment, the time to act is now. If your organisation wants to play a role in shaping the future of our industry, this is a fantastic opportunity to get involved. 📅 Wednesday 2nd July 📍 Cisco, Finsbury Circus ⏰ 8:30am – 10:30am More details below 👇

The future of #IT in Asia-Pacific and Japan isn't cloud-first, it's #cloudsmart. #AI is reshaping how enterprises across the region think about workload placement, and balancing performance, cost and data sovereignty has never been more critical. I recently shared with ComputerWeekly.com how a #hybridmulticloud approach bridges this gap, giving #APJ organizations the agility to choose the right environment for every workload, from data center to cloud to edge. At Nutanix, we’re helping organisations build open, unified platforms that make this flexibility possible — powering innovation without lock-in.

As AI expectations accelerate, the wait-and-see approach to legacy systems is no longer an option. Thorsten Walther, Managing Director, CXO Advisory Asia at MongoDB, highlights in Frontier Enterprise that we are moving away from isolated AI experiments toward ambitious, full-stack modernization. For ASEAN businesses, 2026 will be about removing the technical blockers—data, apps, and infrastructure—to make innovation fast and scalable.
