What could your day look like?

Any given day will be different, but one of them might look like this: Start off the day with the daily standup with the Discovery squad. They work on (data) problems, prioritize idea backlog and design and execute experiments to decide what problems need solving. Afterwards you work with your colleagues in Asia that have a new business idea with AI at its core and need guidance on how to put their idea forward. Looks like there are similarities with an idea submitted by our colleagues in the US. Is there a possibility to re-engineer a workflow into an agentic workflow? Just in time for the delivery meeting where we go through the portfolio of the business unit. What impediments needs to be solved? Great input for the decision making you are preparing. You go for lunch with our Tech colleagues to understand how we can further improve our SDLC with AI. Then, later that afternoon you run a workshop with your counterparts in Digital and Tech about a new governance model to improve the time to market even further. How do we position AI Risk most optimally? In the hallway you meeting with a colleague who is working on AI driven investment algos. This could be a project for our upcoming experiment week. Later in the day you make your way to a conference where you are speaking about our latest developments in AI. You stay for some drinks at the conference... or you call it a day and spend some quality private time to keep a healthy balance between focus, rest and other things.
