Transcript

00:00Welcome to Bloomberg Live. Thanks for joining us. Explore building a future-ready business.

00:07Top of the mind for all of us here. First, thank you to all our guests, everyone here.

00:12Thank you. Call out to everyone online, so thank you for doing that as well.

00:17And two special thanks to the guests that will be speaking.

00:21Bank of America, Verizon, Business, Microsoft, America Express, Amazon, and MasterCard.

00:27And, of course, Lisa, thanks to Bloomberg. What a beautiful venue we have here.

00:34For those unfamiliar with Kindrel, we're the leading provider of mission-critical enterprise technology services.

00:41We just celebrate our fourth birthday. Yeah, four years.

00:48We design, we build, we manage, and we modernize mission-critical systems that the world relies on every day.

00:57We've guided leaders. Our team has guided leaders through a whole series of different technology waves.

01:03There was Internet. Yeah, we, our people were, I was there. Our people were there.

01:09Cloud, big data, and now there's AI.

01:14Go to the, this moment that we have in front of us, this moment with AI, it's incredibly significant.

01:23At Gentica, I specifically, I see this as an evolutionary technology.

01:28Evolutionary is the right word. It's doing things that, I have to admit, I did not believe until I saw it.

01:36As leaders, and that's why you're here, we are at a tipping point.

01:41In fact, I have a stat that I wanted to read out to you.

01:4787 percent, 87 percent, that's a lot, right?

01:5087 percent of all leaders agree that AI is going to transform roles and responsibilities in their organization over the next 12 months.

01:59That's what they believe.

02:01However, 29 percent say their organization workforce is currently ready to leverage AI.

02:06AI. That is a tipping point.

02:08That's an opportunity.

02:10It is a risk, and that's why we're here today.

02:13I believe leaders who lean into AI native, they'll thrive.

02:19That's what Kindrel believes.

02:21The agility by design, this AI at the core of processes and workflows.

02:26My colleague, Michael Bradshaw, he'll come on stage soon, and he'll share exactly what that looks like.

02:32But first, we do want to hear from you.

02:36For those in person, if you look around, there's a bunch of Kindrel name cards.

02:42We're going to be around.

02:43We'd love to talk to you.

02:44So please, thank you for that, and thanks for coming.

02:47Your time is incredibly valuable.

02:48It's a gift, so we appreciate that.

02:50For those joining online on the live stream, thank you also for your time.

02:55Thank you for your focus.

02:57There's a QA function in the tool.

02:59I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I'm sure you guys will figure it out, at least explain it, right?

03:03Tell us what's on your mind, please.

03:06We'd love to hear from you again.
