Profession update, AI in focus and internal controls in a GenAI World
Q: What should smaller firms prioritize when adopting GenAI tools given cost and data security concerns?

Unleashing simplicity and risk management insights
Q: What advice would you give a new leader joining your organization who wants to reduce complexity?
Clarify and communicate that subtraction is as important as addition, model the behavior yourself, assess calendars for timeboxing, and involve the team in a structured, piloted simplification process.
