Technology is opening new doors for organizations – exposing them both to new opportunities and competitive threats that can quickly emerge from unexpected quarters. Whether it is the imperative to seize competitive advantage through Generative AI, to accelerate innovation, or to make quicker – and better – decisions, speed is at a premium.
In the latest issue of Dialogue, we look at ways to pick up the pace. In a world defined by exponential change, how can leaders make great decisions? We present the latest annual Financial Cycle Time Awards and ask, what can we learn from some of the world’s fastest-moving firms? What is the role of culture in enabling teams to move fast? What lessons can leaders glean from breakthrough AI model DeepSeek about the paradoxical relationship between patience and speed? And how could embedding AI in collaborative work processes help organizations accelerate?
