A very exciting kick off for season 7 of our Shift Podcast. This episode featured David Usher and the interview follows a very interesting AI discussion. ​ ​ What stood out to me is creativity is not just about art. It is a way of solving problems that applies whether you are writing a song or building AI tools. AI is changing how we use creativity but it does not replace it. It pushes us to focus on the human side, the authentic experiences and judgment that machines cannot replicate.​ ​ David made a great point that AI will make average work common. This means human connections and meaningful experiences will become rare and very valuable. Like chess, where AI can beat humans but people still love playing with each other.​ ​ Curiosity is the biggest advantage today. The fast pace of AI means we all must learn and adapt quickly. Leaders need to invest in AI literacy and encourage creativity and experimentation. Looking forward to seeing how PwC and Toronto’s leaders embrace this new era of creativity and technology.​ #AI #PwCShift #FutureOfWork Jon Finkelstein Mikaela McQuade https://bit.ly/4pEt3bj

Can't believe a week has flown by since moderating the Impact keynote panel at Reuters Events Sustainable Business. It was a powerful reminder of the complex dynamics companies are navigating in the #sustainability space. Speaking with Laura Kohler, Scott Childress, and Al Iannuzzi, we explored how organizations are feeling both the pressure to stay the course and the temptation to scale back. Many are deeply committed—driven by European market expectations, RFP requirements, operational efficiencies, and the clear demands of #customers and #employees. Sustainability has become too embedded in their operations to reverse course easily, and for many, it’s not just a strategic imperative—it’s good business.   At the same time, we acknowledged the growing tension around #reporting. Some companies are overwhelmed by the volume of disclosures, and in some cases, are being given permission—explicitly or implicitly—to report less. Yet, what stood out in our discussion was the consensus that most companies aren’t pulling back. The systems and values in place are too entrenched, and the cost of reversing course would be too high. While the business case remains essential, our panelists emphasized that #purpose and #values still matter. Responsible business isn’t just about metrics—it’s about doing what’s right, and that conviction continues to guide many leaders forward. We work tirelessly each day at CECP to help sustainability leaders navigate these decisions, please DM me or email me at nmadgavkar@cecp.co for data-backed benchmarks and peer informed frameworks to help you do good even better!

Inclusion work inside corporations has hit a turning point. The old model focused on awareness, activity, signaling, and intent. The next model is judged on measurable impact, business performance, and enterprise value. If it does not make that shift, it loses funding, influence, and relevance. This is not an opinion. This is a reality. In my latest Bizclusionist Weekly article, I break down what this shift means and what inclusion leaders must do now to stay credible, funded, and effective.
