Real work doesn’t speak for itself. Use the 3 Ps to a proactive communication: 1) Promotion 2) Priorities 3) Problems “The goal isn’t to do everything. It’s to do the right thing.” Jess Wass #WOTC #Growth #Communication #ManagingUp @WOTChannel

Don’t take offense to the advice. Take it to heart. #feedback #managingup #WOTC @WOTChannel

Leaders of the future have to detest the hierarchy. @IBM Nickle LaMoreaux & Keith Ferrazzi #futureleaders #IBMThink #Think2026

Ask yourself and your team: Are we being incremental? - Keith Farrazzi Sherpas don’t work in org charts. They work in exponential outcomes. #NeverEatAlone #NeverLeadAlone #RadicalTransformation #IBMThink #Think2026 @IBM

IBM CEO & Chairman @ArvindKrishna kicks off Think 2026. Arvind’s main points so far: - Urgency and leadership: AI is here and moving fast; leaders must be ambitious and act now rather than wait for a playbook. - Move from pilots to AI‑first: Companies must embed AI into core business processes and operating models, not confine it to pilots/POCs. - Measurable business impact: AI can drive large productivity gains (estimates ~40% by 2030); IBM reports $4.5B annualized productivity gains from AI/automation. - Reinvestment and growth: Many organizations plan to reinvest productivity gains into innovation, new products and business models, which separates winners from losers. - Investment landscape: Infrastructure and model spending has jumped substantially; companies should mix large models, on‑prem and edge deployments to fit purpose. - Risks and sovereignty: Concern about vendor lock‑in and geopolitical risks; enterprises and nations need control over AI infrastructure (so it can’t be turned off or tampered with). - Three strategic vectors: AI‑first enterprise, hybrid cloud architecture, and quantum; IBM frames this as “day zero” of the AI revolution. One of the better openers of not the best I’ve seen from $IBM.

$IBM provides its read on AI impact for its customers. 70% are seeing greater productivity with AI 74% are seeing faster cycle times 67% are delivering projects faster 80% of clients expect AI to drive meaningful revenue by 2030. And IBM shared that it currently has realized $4.5 Billion in measurable efficiencies and productivity gains within the company.

➡️The market is still underestimating #hybrid cloud… “Hybrid is not a compromise. Hybrid is the architecture that helps gives you resilience.” @ArvindKrishna @ibm #Think2026 #IBMThink #AI #HybridCloud

“Organization plan to reverse (AI) productivity gain into innovation with 60% going into products, new business models, new services and productivity improvement.” —Arvind Krishna, CEO @IBM #IBMThink #Think26
