  • Obvious and political

    BCG is a consulting firm that does great work, so I wanted to like this. But this is run by marketing so very little that’s not obvious and far too much politics is weaved in. The depth of their recommendations is best represented by “you must be customer focused”. Good thing I was in a position to take notes.

    Not all bad though. Looking at the style and tone of the comments, BCG is outstanding at getting their people to write comments.

  • It hits the spot

    This is the (non-news) podcast I most look forward to as topics selected are trending, and sometimes even futuristic and daring. But moreso, Georgie’s questions hit the spot. There are many times I’m having my morning porridge or washing dishes where she asks a question, and everything (in my environment) stops as I eagerly await the answer while thinking “oh no, she didn’t,” in a grateful way. The host appears cutely attuned to the things her audience really wants to ask and/hear. This show set... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Will AI Agents Replace Your CRM?
Q: What about cost?
Cost involves not just the agent or license, but time to value, and the need to measure and compare costs across models to avoid unsustainable spend.
Is Your AI Rollout Built to Fail?
Q: How does AI change the dynamics of transformation compared to other types of change?
AI introduces greater emotional and identity-related disruption, requiring redesigned workflows and a stronger focus on human engagement and agency beyond traditional change programs.
Is Your AI Rollout Built to Fail?
Q: What are the three things leaders should do to finish strong in the messy middle?
1) Create a buy-in as a product/services mindset; 2) design programs that maximize agency and participation; 3) maintain visibility and energy for change through ongoing preparation and communication.
Is Your AI Rollout Built to Fail?
Q: Why write a book about change now?
Because there are recurring patterns and clues in successful transformations, and the authors want to codify those into actionable guidance for practitioners and leaders.
LLM or MD: Who Owns the Patient Journey?
Q: Ben, thank you so much for joining us today. What are the biggest opportunities and risks as AI moves into patient care, and who ultimately owns the patient relationship?
The guest discusses opportunities like enhanced health literacy, data access, and end-to-end care pathways, while noting governance and leadership are needed to manage ownership and trust.
