I’m thrilled at the enthusiasm and engagement around our latest IBM IBV CEO Study, launched this week at #Think2024. What are the hard truths the best business leaders confront with clear eyes that enable them to thrive when others struggle? Consider: * 62% of CEOs say they will take more risk than their competition to maintain a competitive edge. * 66% of CEOs are meeting short-term targets by reallocating resources from longer-term efforts. * 50% of CEOs say the risk of falling behind is driving them to invest in some technologies before they have a clear understanding of the value they bring. In this high-stakes environment, #CEOs must strike the right balance between caution and courage. They must be willing to honestly assess their organization’s capabilities, readiness, and market position today.  They must resist the pressure to overemphasize short-term gains at the expense of long-term growth. And they must assemble a team that will win in the future, not just the past, and do the work of building buy-in at all levels. At the same time, business leaders can’t succumb to incrementalism and unintentionally undermine a windfall.  When you’re on a burning platform, big risks are just good business. Read the 2024 CEO Study from the IBM Institute for Business Value to explore the six hard truths holding your organization back – and steps you can take to win in the age of #genAI.

Hear the stomp, stomp, stomp of the boots as the GBS leadership guard changes? See the pioneers move on to rewirement? Do you sense that the new leaders solve problems differently? Have other priorities? Are more inwardly focused? Tend to pick and choose what they focus on? Keep their own counsel? Don't crave standing on podiums as their predecessors did? In advance of next week's holiday, here's some food for thought. How does the next generation of GBS leaders actually work--in aggregate if you please! Does it resonate? Let me know and happy early Fourth of July. Deborah Here's my view of our next gen leaders--in aggregate if you please. Does it resonate?

The essay explores the gap between intended actions, driven by conscious goals, and just actions, influenced by situational factors. It highlights how this disparity affects personal and organizational effectiveness, using examples from everyday life and corporate settings. Strategies to bridge this gap include clear communication, environmental design, implementation intentions, and flexibility. By understanding and addressing this gap, individuals and organizations can achieve better alignment between intentions and actual outcomes, fostering more consistent and effective actions. https://lnkd.in/g62G66uX

Gartner's 2024 Hype Cycle season is unfolding and the innovation profile for HYBRID WORK is (finally!) emerging from the trough and crossing the threshold to climb the slope of enlightenment! In other words, evidence has turned to insights and best practices have become operationalized. Here are my top takeaways from Caitlin Duffy, PhD's newest research: Return-to-office #RTO mandates do show modest positive impacts -- but largely are NOT 🚫 worth the talent ⚖ risks. Positive: Being watched, or at least feeling like you're being watched, results in behaviors such as: - Employees may put in more effort in the office, where they feel closely monitored.  - Others may be more inclined to help colleagues with their workloads as their struggles are more visible, or because closer proximity makes it easier to ask for support. - More time in the office likely provides managers with a sense of familiarity with their employees and gives them greater visibility into their direct report’s workflows. My 2 Cents: - How do you feel when you're being watched? 🔎❓ Workers who are productive because they're being watched but not be the kind of productivity that is satisfying 😨 or sustainable 😴. And, maybe more importantly, this kind of productivity might not result in innovation. 👩‍🚀 - Skilling managers to create familiarity and assess workers and drive the productive and innovative behaviors need to change in a world increasingly dominated by 🤖 AI. Going back to the🚶‍♂️"walking manager" model may not drive the future workforce development organizations need to thrive. But you don't have to take my word for it -- Dr Caitlin Duffy 🎤 shared these thoughts: “With only a few years’ experience operating in a remote and hybrid environment, organizations continue to learn which work-design characteristics best support their employees’ performance, well-being, engagement and retention. We expect the understanding of the strongest hybrid, on-site and remote models will evolve as organizations adapt their work model approaches in response to business outcomes, environmental shifts and employee feedback.” See the full findings.
