Deepak Kaul shared this"You cannot simply assign the customer a mindset that serves your interests. You have to genuinely engage with them to get to the actionable truth." - very well said by Geoffrey MooreDeepak Kaul shared thisIt's a customer journey, not a vendor journey! Most customer journey diagrams I see map the customer’s journey through the vendor’s marketing and sales process and customers could not care less about it.

Deepak Kaul shared thisThanks for postingDeepak Kaul shared thishttps://lnkd.in/gw3KGrM As the pandemic proved, a strong supply chain is essential for immediate and long-term business health. CIOs are perfectly positioned to play an essential part here. With the current world shortages, organizations' supply chains have taken center stage, observed Leon Roberge, Jr., CIO at Toshiba America Business Solutions and Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions. "That's why it's so important for me and my team to evolve and improve systems and processes," he said. A CIO should be a critical enabler and co-chair in transforming the supply chain. "From helping to identify potential technology partners for advanced technologies to ensuring the current technology base runs effectively and efficiently, a CIO can not only help build a strong supply chain but help transform the supply chain function," said Scott Furlong, a partner with technology research and advisory firm ISG (Information Services Group). "In today’s world, enmeshed in hyper competitive global competition, technology is the foundation for an effective supply chain," he noted. Modern supply chains handle high-volume transfers of goods, information, and currency across geographies, languages, and cultures. Digitization has the power to flatten these barriers, reduce costs, and provide visibility to transactions, said Deepak Kaul, CIO at Zebra Technologies, a provider of marking, tracking, and computer printing products. "The pre-requisite to modernizing technology is stable incumbent systems," he observed. "If you have unstable operational systems, you’ll likely be putting out fires most of your time and have no time to think about future initiatives."

Deepak Kaul liked thisDeepak Kaul liked thisOnly 29% of meetings are considered productive. Master yours with 7 strategies from top CEOs. Want to know how to run insanely productive meetings? I've studied the tactics of leaders at Apple, Google, Microsoft, and more. Here's what the world's best do differently: 1. Jensen Huang (NVIDIA) uses first principles thinking ↳ Asks "What do we know for sure?" ↳ Strips away assumptions before brainstorming ↳ Uncovers breakthrough ideas others miss 2. Abigail Johnson (Fidelity) pressure-tests ideas ↳ Assigns a devil's advocate ↳ Requires data to back up counterarguments ↳ Catches blind spots before they become mistakes 3. Tim Cook (Apple) is ruthless about time ↳ Keep meetings under 30 minutes ↳ Cuts ideas with no owner or outcome ↳ Sharp focus = fast execution 4. Lisa Su (AMD) puts customers in the room ↳ Opens with real user stories ↳ Frames decisions by customer impact ↳ Keeps teams aligned on what actually matters 5. Sundar Pichai (Google) drives fast follow-through ↳ Ends meetings with clear next steps ↳ Each task has an owner and deadline ↳ Turns talk into traction 6. Safra Catz (Oracle) anchors on one metric ↳ Every topic starts with the number that matters ↳ Debates focus on moving it ↳ Turns opinions into ownership 7. Satya Nadella (Microsoft) masters the room ↳ Leaders speak last ↳ Recaps key points to show deep listening ↳ Builds trust and keeps momentum high These strategies work. They save time. They build clarity. They deliver results. Pick one. Use it this week. Be among the top 29%. Want a PDF of my Master Your Meetings Cheat Sheet?

Deepak Kaul liked thisDeepak Kaul liked thisMost CEOs are still approaching AI at the application layer. That’s the wrong place to anchor your strategy. Jensen Huang's AI stack highlights a fundamental shift most leadership teams are underestimating: Value is not being created evenly across the stack. Energy - Chips - Infrastructure - Models - Applications Here’s the reality: Applications are scaling fast, but differentiation is shrinking. Models are concentrating in the hands of a few. Infrastructure and chips are where real leverage is being built. Energy is quickly becoming a limiting factor. This creates a very clear strategic divide: Some companies will build advantage inside the AI value chain. Others will simply consume it. If your current plan is “deploy AI tools across the business,” you’re not building a strategy. You’re renting capability. The better questions are: Where do we want to play in the stack? What can we own vs depend on? How do we secure long-term access to compute and energy? The CEOs who get this right won’t just adopt AI. They’ll position their companies where the value actually compounds. #AIStrategy #MakeBigHappen Summit

Deepak Kaul liked thisDeepak Kaul liked thisAnthropic's AI Agents are quietly rewriting how work gets done The 90% automation target is closer than most people think... Thanks to my friend Rakesh Gohel for this great resource. As Anthropic's AI ecosystem grows, they are now releasing tools for users that they've been using to automate their tasks. 📌 Let’s break down all 3 so you can pick the right one: 1. Claude AI ↳ What it is: A conversational AI assistant for everyday thinking, writing & analysis ↳ Where to use: Draft emails, essays & reports / Brainstorm ideas conversationally / Research and explain complex topics ✅Pros: Zero setup needed, versatile & general ❌Cons: No system access, manual follow-up Best for: Anyone who needs a smart thinking partner on demand → Official Course from Anthropic on mastering Claude Chat: https://lnkd.in/dGGA_Pzm 2. Claude Code ↳ What it is: A command-line tool that runs Claude as an autonomous coding agent directly in your terminal ↳ Where to use: Build or debug entire features across multiple files / Refactor legacy codebases at scale / Write and run tests, fixing failures automatically ✅ Pros: Fully autonomous, deep codebase context ❌ Cons: Needs careful review, usage costs apply Best for: Developers who want AI to handle real engineering work end-to-end → Official Course from Anthropic on mastering Claude Code: https://lnkd.in/dx_fm5MH 3. Claude Cowork ↳ What it is: A desktop application for non-developers that automates file management and repetitive tasks ↳ Where to use: Organize, rename & sort files in bulk / Extract data from PDFs and fill spreadsheets / Automate copy-paste workflows across applications ✅ Pros: No coding needed, cross-app workflows ❌ Cons: Beta/early stage, less control & config Simply put, Claude Code X Claude Chat = Cowork with a few limitations to preserve privacy. → Now there's no course on cowork yet but their start up is absolute god if you're starting out: https://lnkd.in/dFUmuAfr 📌 Quick decision guide: 1. Need to think, write, or research? → Claude AI 2. Need to build or fix code autonomously? → Claude Code 3. Need to automate files and tasks without coding? → Claude Cowork The real power? Using all three together, Claude AI for strategy, Claude Code for execution, and Cowork for operations. ♻️ Repost to help others in your network. ➕ Follow (Yousif Hussain) for more.

Deepak Kaul liked thisDeepak Kaul liked thisThrilled to share that Chicago ENGAGE (Chicago Engineers Networking Group of Asian Graduates & Experts) successfully hosted its AI Workshop this March at the Aspen Public Library in Vernon Hills! This hands-on 2-hour evening session brought together engineers, technologists, and professionals to explore the possibilities of advanced artificial intelligence — not just in theory, but by building something real. Here's what we covered: The evolution of AI — from Turing's original question to the transformer revolution and today's LLMs What AI actually is: Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Natural Language Processing demystified The current AI landscape — LLMs, image generation, code assistants, and agentic AI How AI is already embedded in our everyday systems, from voice assistants to healthcare The responsibilities that come with this power — bias, privacy, misinformation, and environmental impact And then we got to work. Participants built a Job Finder web app from scratch — a working tool that pulls real job listings from LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor via AI-powered APIs, matches them to your skills with an intelligent scoring system, and lets you track and export your search results. All built with AI assistance, all in a single HTML file that everyone took home. Chicago ENGAGE is a community built by the community, for the community. From professional networking and mentoring programs to scholarships, STEM learning for students, and hands-on tech workshops like this one — we're committed to helping our members connect, learn, and grow. Want to be part of what we're building? Join Chicago ENGAGE and help shape the next generation of engineers, technologists, and leaders across Chicagoland. #ChicagoENGAGE #AIWorkshop #ArtificialIntelligence #HandsOnLearning #CommunityBuilding #TechWorkshop #STEM #Networking #CareerGrowth #MachineLearning #VernonHills #Chicagoland Sudheesh Sudhakaran Dileep Radhakrishnan Shruthi Menon Soumini Pattathil VIPINDAS KOLOTH Bharathimohan Gopal Vikas Venugopal Kam Dashaputra Vinay Vijayan
